php-websocket-rpc/rpc-client
============================

[](#php-websocket-rpcrpc-client)

Async RPC client over WebSocket using amphp and msgpack.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require php-websocket-rpc/rpc-client
```

Requires PHP 8.5+, `ext-msgpack`, and the amphp ecosystem.

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
use PhpWebsocketRpc\RpcClient\Client\RpcClient;

$client = RpcClient::connect('ws://127.0.0.1:9502/rpc');

// ─── Typed request/response ───

$response = $client->call(new MathDivideRequest(x: 10, y: 2))->await();
echo $response->result; // 5

// ─── Fire-and-forget notification ───

$client->notify(new LogMessage(text: 'Hello!'));

// ─── Using contract proxies ───

$math = $client->createProxy(MathService::class);

$result = $math->add(10, 5);               // call/response
echo $result;                               // 15

$math->log('Hello!');                       // notification

foreach ($math->count(10) as $value) {      // streaming
    echo $value;
}

$math->onEvent(function (string $event) {   // subscribe
    echo "Got: $event";
});

$chat->send('Hello!');                      // publish
```

Authentication
--------------

[](#authentication)

### Authenticating

[](#authenticating)

Use the built-in `AuthService` contract to authenticate:

```
use PhpWebsocketRpc\Rpc\Contract\AuthService;
use PhpWebsocketRpc\Rpc\Auth\User;

$auth = $client->createProxy(AuthService::class);
$user = $auth->authenticate('your-token-here');

// $user is a User object (implements WebsocketUserInterface)
echo $user->id;      // user identifier
echo $user->roles;   // ['customer', 'admin']
```

### Handling Auth Errors

[](#handling-auth-errors)

```
use PhpWebsocketRpc\Rpc\Exception\AuthenticationException;
use PhpWebsocketRpc\Rpc\Exception\AuthorizationException;

try {
    $user = $auth->authenticate('invalid-token');
} catch (AuthenticationException $e) {
    echo $e->getRpcCode();      // -32010
    echo $e->getMessage();      // 'Invalid or expired token'
}

try {
    $chat->deleteMessage('msg-1');  // requires admin role
} catch (AuthorizationException $e) {
    echo $e->getRpcCode();      // -32011
    echo $e->getMessage();      // 'Requires one of roles: admin...'
}

// Generic catch for all RPC errors
use PhpWebsocketRpc\Rpc\Exception\RpcDispatchException;

try {
    $result = $math->add(10, 5);
} catch (RpcDispatchException $e) {
    echo $e->getRpcCode();      // e.g. -32601 (METHOD_NOT_FOUND)
}
```

### Logout

[](#logout)

```
$auth->logout();  // clears auth state for this connection
```

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Typed RPC calls** — send typed payloads, receive typed responses
- **Contract proxies** — `createProxy()` generates a dynamic proxy from any interface using `proxy-manager-lts`
- **5 patterns** — call/response, notification, streaming, subscribe, publish
- **Authentication** — built-in `AuthService` contract with typed exceptions
- **Fire-and-forget** — notifications with no response
- **Stream subscriptions** — async iterables for streaming data (supports `foreach`)
- **Publish/Subscribe** — named channels with `#[RpcSubscribe]` / `#[RpcPublish]`
- **Middleware** — client-side middleware pipeline
- **Retry support** — `RetryableRpcClient` wraps any client with configurable retry strategy

Contract Proxies
----------------

[](#contract-proxies)

Define a shared interface:

```
interface MathService
{
    public function add(int $a, int $b): int;
    public function mul(int $a, int $b): int;
}
```

Use it transparently:

```
$math = $client->createProxy(MathService::class);
$sum = $math->add(10, 5);        // returns 15 — no boilerplate
```

The proxy is generated by `friendsofphp/proxy-manager-lts` using `NullObjectFactory` + `AccessInterceptorValueHolderFactory` — no `eval()` or runtime code generation.
