WebSocket Implementation - Final Architecture

✅ Complete Implementation with Correct Architecture

The WebSocket implementation now follows the exact pattern used by ICallbackResponseBuilder.

📐 Architecture Pattern

Interface Hierarchy

IResponseProvider (base interface)
    ↑
    └── ICallbackResponseBuilder   (existing pattern)
    └── IWebSocketResponseBuilder  (new, follows same pattern)

Both interfaces:

• ✅ Extend IResponseProvider
• ✅ Implement ProvideResponseAsync() method
• ✅ Return IResponseBuilder from builder methods for chaining
• ✅ Located in WireMock.Net.Shared/ResponseBuilders/

🔗 How Chaining Works

1. User calls WithWebSocket on Response builder

Response.Create().WithWebSocket(ws => ws...)
                                   ↓

2. Creates WebSocketResponseBuilder with reference to parent Response

var builder = new WebSocketResponseBuilder(this);
// 'this' is the Response (IResponseBuilder)

3. Each builder method returns the parent IResponseBuilder

public IResponseBuilder WithMessage(string message, int delayMs = 0)
{
    _response.AddMessage(wsMessage);
    return _responseBuilder;  // ← Returns parent Response builder
}

4. Returns to Response builder for continued chaining

Response.Create()
    .WithWebSocket(ws => ws
        .WithMessage("Hello")
        .WithJsonMessage(obj)
    )
    .WithStatusCode(200)        // ← Back to response methods
    .WithHeader("X-Custom", "value");

💻 Usage Examples

Simple WebSocket Response

server.Given(Request.Create().WithWebSocketPath("/echo"))
    .RespondWith(Response.Create()
        .WithWebSocket(ws => ws
            .WithMessage("Echo ready")
        )
    );

Chainable with Other Response Methods

server.Given(Request.Create().WithWebSocketPath("/stream"))
    .RespondWith(Response.Create()
        .WithStatusCode(101)  // ← HTTP status for upgrade
        .WithHeader("Sec-WebSocket-Accept", "*")
        .WithWebSocket(ws => ws
            .WithMessage("Stream started", 0)
            .WithMessage("Chunk 1", 100)
            .WithMessage("Chunk 2", 200)
            .WithClose(1000, "Done")
        )
        .WithDelay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(50))
    );

With Callback (Dynamic Response)

server.Given(Request.Create().WithWebSocketPath("/echo"))
    .RespondWith(Response.Create()
        .WithWebSocketCallback(async request =>
            new[] { 
                new WebSocketMessage { 
                    BodyAsString = "Echo: " + request.Body 
                }
            }
        )
    );

🎯 Compiler Implementation

IResponseProvider Method

public Task<(IResponseMessage Message, IMapping? Mapping)> ProvideResponseAsync(
    IMapping mapping, 
    IRequestMessage requestMessage, 
    WireMockServerSettings settings)
{
    // WebSocket responses are handled by the Response builder directly
    // This method is not used for WebSocket responses
    throw new NotImplementedException(
        "WebSocket responses are handled by the Response builder");
}

This matches the pattern used by other response providers - the interface requirement is satisfied, but WebSocket handling occurs through the Response builder directly.
