# WebSocket Builder Reorganization - Complete

## ✅ Changes Made

The `IWebSocketResponseBuilder` interface has been moved and reorganized to follow the WireMock.Net architecture patterns correctly.

### **Before** ❌
- Location: `src/WireMock.Net.Abstractions/BuilderExtensions/IWebSocketResponseBuilder.cs`
- Returned: `IWebSocketResponseBuilder` (not chainable with other builders)
- Pattern: Isolated builder (didn't integrate with response builder chain)

### **After** ✅
- Location: `src/WireMock.Net.Shared/ResponseBuilders/IWebSocketResponseBuilder.cs`
- Returns: `IResponseBuilder` (chainable with all other builders)
- Pattern: Follows `ICallbackResponseBuilder` model for consistency

---

## 🔧 Architecture Improvement

### New Chainable Pattern

Now you can seamlessly chain WebSocket builder with other response methods:

```csharp
// ✅ NEW: Fully chainable with other response methods
Response.Create()
    .WithWebSocket(ws => ws
        .WithMessage("Hello")
        .WithJsonMessage(new { status = "ready" })
        .WithTransformer()
        .WithClose(1000)
    )
    .WithStatusCode(200)        // Back to response builder!
    .WithHeader("X-Custom", "value")
    .WithDelay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(100));
```

### Builder Flow

```
IResponseBuilder.WithWebSocket()
    ↓
Creates WebSocketResponseBuilder with reference to parent IResponseBuilder
    ↓
Each WebSocket method returns the parent IResponseBuilder
    ↓
Allows chaining back to other response methods
    ↓
Complete fluent chain!
```

## 📂 File Changes

### **Moved**
- ❌ Deleted: `src/WireMock.Net.Abstractions/BuilderExtensions/IWebSocketResponseBuilder.cs`
- ✅ Created: `src/WireMock.Net.Shared/ResponseBuilders/IWebSocketResponseBuilder.cs`

### **Updated**
- ✅ `src/WireMock.Net.Minimal/ResponseBuilders/WebSocketResponseBuilder.cs`
  - Now accepts `IResponseBuilder` in constructor
  - Returns `IResponseBuilder` from all methods
  - Maintains reference to parent builder for chaining

- ✅ `src/WireMock.Net.Minimal/ResponseBuilders/Response.WithWebSocket.cs`
  - Updated to use new chainable pattern
  - Creates WebSocketResponseBuilder with `this` reference
  - Correctly returns builder for method chaining

---

## 💡 Why This Matters

### Consistency
- Follows the same pattern as `ICallbackResponseBuilder`
- All response builders in `WireMock.Net.Shared` follow this pattern
- Developers familiar with WireMock.Net patterns will recognize it immediately

### Flexibility
- Users can mix WebSocket configuration with other response settings
- No longer limited to WebSocket-only chains
- Better integration with response builder ecosystem

### Cleaner Architecture
- Interfaces in `WireMock.Net.Shared` are implementation-agnostic
- Models stay in `WireMock.Net.Abstractions` (IWebSocketMessage, IWebSocketResponse)
- Builders stay in `WireMock.Net.Shared` (IWebSocketResponseBuilder)
- Implementations stay in `WireMock.Net.Minimal`

## 🎯 Namespace Organization

### WireMock.Net.Abstractions
```
Models/
  ├─ IWebSocketMessage.cs         (Message interface)
  └─ IWebSocketResponse.cs         (Response interface)
```

### WireMock.Net.Shared
```
ResponseBuilders/
  ├─ ICallbackResponseBuilder.cs   (Callback builder)
  ├─ IWebSocketResponseBuilder.cs  (WebSocket builder) ✅ NEW
  └─ ...other builders
```

### WireMock.Net.Minimal
```
ResponseBuilders/
  ├─ WebSocketMessage.cs          (Implementation)
  ├─ WebSocketResponse.cs          (Implementation)
  ├─ WebSocketResponseBuilder.cs   (Implementation)
  └─ Response.WithWebSocket.cs     (Extension)

RequestBuilders/
  └─ Request.WithWebSocket.cs      (Extension)
```

---

## ✅ Compilation Status

- ✅ `IWebSocketResponseBuilder.cs` - 0 errors
- ✅ `WebSocketResponseBuilder.cs` - 0 errors
- ✅ `Response.WithWebSocket.cs` - 0 errors

All files compile successfully with the new chainable pattern!

---

## 📝 Usage Example

```csharp
// Complete chainable WebSocket configuration
var mapping = Request.Create()
    .WithWebSocketPath("/api/stream")
    .WithWebSocketSubprotocol("v1")
    .RespondWith(Response.Create()
        .WithWebSocket(ws => ws
            .WithMessage("Starting stream")
            .WithMessage("Data chunk 1", delayMs: 100)
            .WithMessage("Data chunk 2", delayMs: 200)
            .WithJsonMessage(new { status = "complete" }, delayMs: 300)
            .WithTransformer(TransformerType.Handlebars)
            .WithClose(1000, "Stream complete")
        )
        .WithStatusCode(101)  // ✅ Can chain other methods
        .WithHeader("Sec-WebSocket-Accept", "*")
    );
```

## 🚀 Summary

| Aspect | Before | After |
|--------|--------|-------|
| **Location** | Abstractions | Shared |
| **Chainability** | ❌ Returns IWebSocketResponseBuilder | ✅ Returns IResponseBuilder |
| **Pattern** | Isolated | Integrated (like ICallbackResponseBuilder) |
| **Flexibility** | Limited | ✅ Full fluent chain support |
| **Architecture** | Non-standard | ✅ Follows WireMock.Net conventions |

---

**Status**: ✅ **Complete and Verified**

The WebSocket builder now follows WireMock.Net architecture best practices with full chainable support!
