Playing with Docker, Silex, Python, Node and WebSockets

I’m learning Docker. In this post I want to share a little experiment that I have done. I know the code looks like over-engineering but it’s just an excuse to build something with docker and containers. Let me explain it a little bit.

The idea is build a Time clock in the browser. Something like this:

Clock

Yes I know. We can do it only with js, css and html but we want to hack a little bit more. The idea is to create:

A Silex/PHP frontend
A WebSocket server with socket.io/node
A Python script to obtain the current time

WebSocket server will open 2 ports: One port to serve webSockets (socket.io) and another one as a http server (express). Python script will get the current time and it’ll send it to the webSocket server. Finally one frontend(silex) will be listening to WebSocket’s event and it will render the current time.

That’s the WebSocket server (with socket.io and express)

var
    express = require('express'),
    expressApp = express(),
    server = require('http').Server(expressApp),
    io = require('socket.io')(server, {origins: 'localhost:*'})
    ;

expressApp.get('/tic', function (req, res) {
    io.sockets.emit('time', req.query.time);
    res.json('OK');
});

expressApp.listen(6400, '0.0.0.0');

server.listen(8080);

That’s our Python script

from time import gmtime, strftime, sleep
import httplib2

h = httplib2.Http()
while True:
    (resp, content) = h.request("http://node:6400/tic?time=" + strftime("%H:%M:%S", gmtime()))
    sleep(1)

And our Silex frontend

use Silex\Application;
use Silex\Provider\TwigServiceProvider;

$app = new Application(['debug' => true]);
$app->register(new TwigServiceProvider(), [
    'twig.path' => __DIR__ . '/../views',
]);

$app->get("/", function (Application $app) {
    return $app['twig']->render('index.twig', []);
});

$app->run();

using this twig template

var socket = io.connect('//localhost:8080');

$(function () {
    socket.on('time', function (data) {
        $('#display').html(data);
    });
});
</script>
</body>
</html>

The idea is to use one Docker container for each process. I like to have all the code in one place so all containers will share the same volume with source code.

First the node container (WebSocket server)

FROM node:argon

RUN mkdir -p /mnt/src
WORKDIR /mnt/src/node

EXPOSE 8080 6400

Now the python container

FROM python:2

RUN pip install httplib2

RUN mkdir -p /mnt/src
WORKDIR /mnt/src/python

And finally Frontend contailer (apache2 with Ubuntu 16.04)

FROM ubuntu:16.04

RUN locale-gen es_ES.UTF-8
RUN update-locale LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

RUN apt-get update -y
RUN apt-get install --no-install-recommends -y apache2 php libapache2-mod-php
RUN apt-get clean -y

COPY ./apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

RUN mkdir -p /mnt/src

RUN a2enmod rewrite
RUN a2enmod proxy
RUN a2enmod mpm_prefork

RUN chown -R www-data:www-data /mnt/src
ENV APACHE_RUN_USER www-data
ENV APACHE_RUN_GROUP www-data
ENV APACHE_LOG_DIR /var/log/apache2
ENV APACHE_LOCK_DIR /var/lock/apache2
ENV APACHE_PID_FILE /var/run/apache2/apache2.pid
ENV APACHE_SERVERADMIN admin@localhost
ENV APACHE_SERVERNAME localhost

EXPOSE 80

Now we’ve got the three containers but we want to use all together. We’ll use a docker-compose.yml file. The web container will expose port 80 and node container 8080. Node container also opens 6400 but this port is an internal port. We don’t need to access to this port outside. Only Python container needs to access to this port. Because of that 6400 is not mapped to any port in docker-compose

version: '2'

services:
  web:
    image: gonzalo123/example_web
    container_name: example_web
    ports:
     - "80:80"
    restart: always
    depends_on:
      - node
    build:
      context: ./images/php
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    entrypoint:
      - /usr/sbin/apache2
      - -D
      - FOREGROUND
    volumes:
     - ./src:/mnt/src

  node:
    image: gonzalo123/example_node
    container_name: example_node
    ports:
     - "8080:8080"
    restart: always
    build:
      context: ./images/node
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    entrypoint:
      - npm
      - start
    volumes:
     - ./src:/mnt/src

  python:
      image: gonzalo123/example_python
      container_name: example_python
      restart: always
      depends_on:
        - node
      build:
        context: ./images/python
        dockerfile: Dockerfile
      entrypoint:
        - python
        - tic.py
      volumes:
       - ./src:/mnt/src

And that’s all. We only need to start our containers

docker-compose up --build -d

and open our browser at: http://localhost to see our Time clock

Playing with arduino, IoT, crossbar and websockets

Dec 12

Posted by Gonzalo Ayuso

Yes. Finally I’ve got an arduino board. It’s time to hack a little bit. Today I want to try different things. I want to display in a webpage one value from my arduino board. For example one analog data using a potentiometer. Let’s start.

We are going to use one potentiometer. A potentiometer is a resistor with a rotating contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider. It has three pins. If we connect one pin to 5V power source of our arduino, another one to the ground and another to one A0 (analog input 0), we can read different values depending on the position of potentiometer’s rotating contact.

arduino_analog

Arduino has 10 bit analog resolution. That means 1024 possible values, from 0 to 1023. So when our potentiometer gives us 5 volts we’ll obtain 1024 and when our it gives us 0V we’ll read 0. Here we can see a simple arduino program to read this analog input and send data via serial port:

int mem;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  int value = analogRead(A0);
  if (value != mem) {
    Serial.println(value);
  }
  mem = value;

  delay(100);
}

This program is simple loop with a delay of 100 milliseconds that reads A0 and if value is different than previously read (to avoid sending the same value when nobody is touching the potentiometer) we send the value via serial port (with 9600 bauds)

We can test our program using the serial monitor of our arduino IDE our using another serial monitor.

Now we’re going to create one script to read this serial port data. We’re going to use Python. I’ll use my laptop and my serial port is /dev/tty.usbmodem14231

import serial

arduino = serial.Serial('/dev/tty.usbmodem14231', 9600)

while 1:
  print arduino.readline().strip()

Basically we’ve got our backend running. Now we can create a simple frontend.

...
<div id='display'></div>
...

We’ll need websockets. I normally use socket.io but today I’ll use Crossbar.io. Since I hear about it in a Ronny’s talk at deSymfony conference I wanted to use it.

I’ll change a little bit our backend to emit one event

import serial
from os import environ
from twisted.internet.defer import inlineCallbacks
from twisted.internet.task import LoopingCall
from autobahn.twisted.wamp import ApplicationSession, ApplicationRunner

arduino = serial.Serial('/dev/tty.usbmodem14231', 9600)

class SeriaReader(ApplicationSession):
    @inlineCallbacks
    def onJoin(self, details):
        def publish():
            return self.publish(u'iot.serial.reader', arduino.readline().strip())

        yield LoopingCall(publish).start(0.1)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    runner = ApplicationRunner(environ.get("GONZALO_ROUTER", u"ws://127.0.0.1:8080/ws"), u"iot")
    runner.run(SeriaReader)

Now I only need to create a crossbar.io server. I will use node to do it

var autobahn = require('autobahn'),
    connection = new autobahn.Connection({
            url: 'ws://0.0.0.0:8080/ws',
            realm: 'iot'
        }
    );

connection.open();

And now we only need to connect our frontend to the websocket server

$(function () {
    var connection = new autobahn.Connection({
        url: "ws://192.168.1.104:8080/ws",
        realm: "iot"
    });

    connection.onopen = function (session) {
        session.subscribe('iot.serial.reader', function (args) {
            $('#display').html(args[0]);
        });
    };

    connection.open();
});

It works but thre’s a problem. The first time we connect with our browser we won’t see the display value until we change the position of the potentiometer. That’s because ‘iot.serial.reader’ event is only emitted when potentiometer changes. No change means no new value. To solve this problem we only need to change a little bit our crossbar.io server. We’ll “memorize” the last value and we’ll expose one method ‘iot.serial.get’ to ask about this value

var autobahn = require('autobahn'),
    connection = new autobahn.Connection({
            url: 'ws://0.0.0.0:8080/ws',
            realm: 'iot'
        }
    ),
    mem;

connection.onopen = function (session) {
    session.register('iot.serial.get', function () {
        return mem;
    });

    session.subscribe('iot.serial.reader', function (args) {
        mem = args[0];
    });
};

connection.open();

An now in the frontend we ask for ‘iot.serial.get’ when we connect to the socket

$(function () {
    var connection = new autobahn.Connection({
        url: "ws://192.168.1.104:8080/ws",
        realm: "iot"
    });

    connection.onopen = function (session) {
        session.subscribe('iot.serial.reader', function (args) {
            $('#display').html(args[0]);
        }).then(function () {
                session.call('iot.serial.get').then(
                    function (result) {
                        $('#display').htmlresult);
                    }
                );
            }
        );
    };
    connection.open();
});

And thats all. The source code is available in my github account. You also can see a demo of the working prototype here

POST Request logger using websockets

Nov 16

Posted by Gonzalo Ayuso

Last days I’ve been working with background geolocation with an ionic application. There’s a cool plugin to do that. The free version of the plugin works fine. But there’s a also a premium version with improvements, especially in battery consumption with Android devices.

Basically this plugin performs a POST request to the server with the GPS data. When I was developing my application I needed a simple HTTP server to see the POST requests. Later I’ll code the backend to handle those requests. I can develop a simple Silex application with a POST route and log the request in a file or flush those request to the console. This’d have been easy but as far as I’m a big fan of WebSockets (yes I must admit that I want to use WebSockets everywere 🙂 I had one idea in my mind. The idea was create a simple HTTP server to handle my GPS POST requests but instead of logging the request I will emit a WebSocket. Then I can create one site that connects to the WebSocket server and register on screen the POST request. Ok today I’m a bit lazy to fight with the Frontend so my log will be on the browser’s console.

To build the application I’ll reuse one of my projects in github: The PHP dumper. The idea is almost the same. I’ll create a simple HTTP server with Silex with two routes. One to handle POST requests (the GPS ones) and another GET to allow me to connect to the WebSocket

That’s the server. Silex, a bit of Twig, another bit of Guzzle and that’s all

use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use Silex\Application;
use Silex\Provider\TwigServiceProvider;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;

$app = new Application([
    'debug'       => true,
    'ioServer'    => '//localhost:8888',
    'wsConnector' => 'http://127.0.0.1:26300'
]);

$app->register(new TwigServiceProvider(), [
    'twig.path' => __DIR__ . '/../views',
]);

$app['http.client'] = new Client();

$app->get("/{channel}", function (Application $app, $channel) {
    return $app['twig']->render('index.twig', [
        'channel'  => $channel,
        'ioServer' => $app['ioServer']
    ]);
});

$app->post("/{channel}", function (Application $app, $channel, Request $request) {
    $app['http.client']->get($app['wsConnector'] . "/info/{$channel}/" . json_encode($request->getContent()));

    return $app->json('OK');
});

$app->run();

That’s the Twig template. Nothing especial: A bit of Bootstrap and one socket.io client. Each time user access to one “channel”‘s url (GET /mychannel). It connects to websocket server

var CONF = {
        IO: {HOST: '0.0.0.0', PORT: 8888},
        EXPRESS: {HOST: '0.0.0.0', PORT: 26300}
    },
    express = require('express'),
    expressApp = express(),
    server = require('http').Server(expressApp),
    io = require('socket.io')(server, {origins: 'localhost:*'})
    ;

expressApp.get('/:type/:session/:message', function (req, res) {
    console.log(req.params);
    var session = req.params.session,
        type = req.params.type,
        message = req.params.message;

    io.sockets.emit('dumper.' + session, {title: type, data: JSON.parse(message)});
    res.json('OK');
});

io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
    console.log("Socket connected!");
});

expressApp.listen(CONF.EXPRESS.PORT, CONF.EXPRESS.HOST, function () {
    console.log('Express started');
});

server.listen(CONF.IO.PORT, CONF.IO.HOST, function () {
    console.log('IO started');
});

And each time background geolocation plugin POSTs GPS data Silex POST route will emit a WebSocket to the desired channel. Our WebSocket client just logs the GPS data using console.log. Is hard to explain but very simple process.

We also can emulate POST requests with this simple node script:

var request = require('request');

request.post('http://localhost:8080/Hello', {form: {key: 'value'}}, function (error, response, body) {
    if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
        console.log(body)
    }
});

And that’s all. You can see the whole code within my github account.

PHP Dumper using Websockets

May 11

Posted by Gonzalo Ayuso

Another crazy idea. I want to dump my backend output in the browser’s console. There’re several PHP dumpers. For example Raul Fraile’s LadyBug. There’re also libraries to do exactly what I want to do, such as Chrome Logger. But I wanted to use Websockets and dump values in real time, without waiting to the end of backend script. Why? The answer is simple: Because I wanted to it 🙂

I’ve written several post about Websockets, Silex, PHP. In this case I’ll use a similar approach than the previous posts. First I’ve created a simple Webscocket server with socket.io. This server also starts a Express server to handle internal messages from the Silex Backend

var CONF = {
        IO: {HOST: '0.0.0.0', PORT: 8888},
        EXPRESS: {HOST: '0.0.0.0', PORT: 26300}
    },
    express = require('express'),
    expressApp = express(),
    server = require('http').Server(expressApp),
    io = require('socket.io')(server, {origins: 'localhost:*'})
    ;

expressApp.get('/:type/:session/:message', function (req, res) {
    console.log(req.params);
    var session = req.params.session,
        type = req.params.type,
        message = req.params.message;

    io.sockets.emit('dumper.' + session, {title: type, data: JSON.parse(message)});
    res.json('OK');
});

io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
    console.log("Socket connected!");
});

expressApp.listen(CONF.EXPRESS.PORT, CONF.EXPRESS.HOST, function () {
    console.log('Express started');
});

server.listen(CONF.IO.PORT, CONF.IO.HOST, function () {
    console.log('IO started');
});

Now we create a simple Service provider to connect our Silex Backend to our Express server (and send the dumper’s messages using the websocket connection)

<?php

namespace Dumper\Silex\Provider;

use Silex\Application;
use Silex\ServiceProviderInterface;
use Dumper\Dumper;
use Silex\Provider\SessionServiceProvider;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;

class DumperServiceProvider implements ServiceProviderInterface
{
    private $wsConnector;
    private $client;

    public function __construct(Client $client, $wsConnector)
    {
        $this->client = $client;
        $this->wsConnector = $wsConnector;
    }

    public function register(Application $app)
    {
        $app->register(new SessionServiceProvider());

        $app['dumper'] = function () use ($app) {
            return new Dumper($this->client, $this->wsConnector, $app['session']->get('uid'));
        };

        $app['dumper.init'] = $app->protect(function ($uid) use ($app) {
            $app['session']->set('uid', $uid);
        });

        $app['dumper.uid'] = function () use ($app) {
            return $app['session']->get('uid');
        };
    }

    public function boot(Application $app)
    {
    }
}

Finally our Silex Application looks like that:

include __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

use Silex\Application;
use Silex\Provider\TwigServiceProvider;
use Dumper\Silex\Provider\DumperServiceProvider;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;

$app = new Application([
    'debug' => true
]);

$app->register(new DumperServiceProvider(new Client(), 'http://192.168.1.104:26300'));

$app->register(new TwigServiceProvider(), [
    'twig.path' => __DIR__ . '/../views',
]);

$app->get("/", function (Application $app) {
    $uid = uniqid();

    $app['dumper.init']($uid);

    return $app['twig']->render('index.twig', [
        'uid' => $uid
    ]);
});

$app->get('/api/hello', function (Application $app) {
    $app['dumper']->error("Hello world1");
    $app['dumper']->info([1,2,3]);

    return $app->json('OK');
});


$app->run();

In the client side we have one index.html. I’ve created Twig template to pass uid to the dumper object (the websocket channel to listen to), but we also can fetch this uid from the backend with one ajax call.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head lang="en">
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Dumper example</title>
</head>
<body>

<a href="#" onclick="api('hello')">hello</a>

<!-- We use jQuery just for the demo. Library doesn't need jQuery -->
<script src="assets/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- We load the library -->
<script src="js/dumper.js"></script>

<script>
    dumper.startSocketIo('{{ uid }}', '//localhost:8888');
    function api(name) {
        // we perform a remote api ajax call that triggers websockets
        $.getJSON('/api/' + name, function (data) {
            // Doing nothing. We only call the api to test php dumper
        });
    }
</script>
</body>
</html>

I use jQuery to handle ajax request and to connect to the websocket dumper object (it doesn’t deppend on jQuery, only depend on socket.io)

var dumper = (function () {
    var socket, sessionUid, socketUri, init;

    init = function () {
        if (typeof(io) === 'undefined') {
            setTimeout(init, 100);
        } else {
            socket = io(socketUri);

            socket.on('dumper.' + sessionUid, function (data) {
                console.group('Dumper:', data.title);
                switch (data.title) {
                    case 'emergency':
                    case 'alert':
                    case 'critical':
                    case 'error':
                        console.error(data.data);
                        break;
                    case 'warning':
                        console.warn(data.data);
                        break;
                    case 'notice':
                    case 'info':
                    //case 'debug':
                        console.info(data.data);
                        break;
                    default:
                        console.log(data.data);
                }
                console.groupEnd();
            });
        }
    };

    return {
        startSocketIo: function (uid, uri) {
            var script = document.createElement('script');
            var node = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];

            sessionUid = uid;
            socketUri = uri;

Yet Another example of WebSockets, socket.io and AngularJs working with a Silex backend

Oct 27

Posted by Gonzalo Ayuso

Remember my last post about WebSockets and AngularJs? Today we’re going to play with something similar. I want to create a key-value interface to play with websockets. Let me explain it a little bit.

First we’re going to see the backend. One Silex application with two routes: a get one and a post one:

<?php

include __DIR__ . '/../../vendor/autoload.php';
include __DIR__ . '/SqlLiteStorage.php';

use Silex\Application;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Silex\Provider\DoctrineServiceProvider;

$app = new Application([
    'debug'      => true,
    'ioServer'   => 'http://localhost:3000',
    'httpServer' => 'http://localhost:3001',
]);

$app->after(function (Request $request, Response $response) {
    $response->headers->set('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');
});

$app->register(new G\Io\EmitterServiceProvider($app['httpServer']));
$app->register(new DoctrineServiceProvider(), [
    'db.options' => [
        'driver' => 'pdo_sqlite',
        'path'   => __DIR__ . '/../../db/app.db.sqlite',
    ],
]);
$app->register(new G\Io\Storage\Provider(new SqlLiteStorage($app['db'])));

$app->get('conf', function (Application $app, Request $request) {
    $chanel = $request->get('token');
    return $app->json([
        'ioServer' => $app['ioServer'],
        'chanel'   => $chanel
    ]);
});

$app->get('/{key}', function (Application $app, $key) {
    return $app->json($app['gdb.get']($key));
});

$app->post('/{key}', function (Application $app, Request $request, $key) {
    $content = json_decode($request->getContent(), true);

    $chanel = $content['token'];
    $app->json($app['gdb.post']($key, $content['value']));

    $app['io.emit']($chanel, [
        'key'   => $key,
        'value' => $content['value']
    ]);

    return $app->json(true);
});

$app->run();

As we can see we register one service provider:

$app->register(new G\Io\Storage\Provider(new SqlLiteStorage($app['db'])));

This provider needs an instance of StorageIface

namespace G\Io\Storage;

interface StorageIface
{
    public function get($key);

    public function post($key, $value);
}

Our implementation uses SqlLite, but it’s pretty straightforward to change to another Database Storage or even a NoSql Database.

use Doctrine\DBAL\Connection;
use G\Io\Storage\StorageIface;

class SqlLiteStorage implements StorageIface
{
    private $db;

    public function __construct(Connection $db)
    {
        $this->db = $db;
    }

    public function get($key)
    {
        $statement = $this->db->executeQuery('select value from storage where key = :KEY', ['KEY' => $key]);
        $data      = $statement->fetchAll();

        return isset($data[0]['value']) ? $data[0]['value'] : null;
    }

    public function post($key, $value)
    {
        $this->db->beginTransaction();

        $statement = $this->db->executeQuery('select value from storage where key = :KEY', ['KEY' =>; $key]);
        $data      = $statement->fetchAll();

        if (count($data) > 0) {
            $this->db->update('storage', ['value' => $value], ['key' => $key]);
        } else {
            $this->db->insert('storage', ['key' => $key, 'value' => $value]);
        }

        $this->db->commit();

        return $value;
    }
}

We also register another Service provider:

$app->register(new G\Io\EmitterServiceProvider($app['httpServer']));

This provider’s responsibility is to notify to the websocket’s server when anything changes within the storage:

namespace G\Io;

use Pimple\Container;
use Pimple\ServiceProviderInterface;

class EmitterServiceProvider implements ServiceProviderInterface
{
    private $server;

    public function __construct($url)
    {
        $this->server = $url;
    }

    public function register(Container $app)
    {
        $app['io.emit'] = $app->protect(function ($chanel, $params) use ($app) {
            $s = curl_init();
            curl_setopt($s, CURLOPT_URL, '{$this->server}/emit/?' . http_build_query($params) . '&_chanel=' . $chanel);
            curl_setopt($s, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
            $content = curl_exec($s);
            $status  = curl_getinfo($s, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
            curl_close($s);

            if ($status != 200) throw new \Exception();

            return $content;
        });
    }
}

The Websocket server is a simple socket.io server as well as a Express server to handle the backend’s triggers.

var
    express = require('express'),
    expressApp = express(),
    server = require('http').Server(expressApp),
    io = require('socket.io')(server, {origins: 'localhost:*'})
    ;

expressApp.get('/emit', function (req, res) {
    io.sockets.emit(req.query._chanel, req.query);
    res.json('OK');
});

expressApp.listen(3001);

server.listen(3000);

Our client application is an AngularJs application:

<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="app">
<head>
    <script src="//localhost:3000/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
    <script src="assets/angularjs/angular.js"></script>
    <script src="js/app.js"></script>
    <script src="js/gdb.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
 
<div ng-controller="MainController">
    <input type="text" ng-model="key">
    <button ng-click="change()">change</button>
</div>
 
</body>
</html>

angular.module('app', ['Gdb'])

    .run(function (Gdb) {
        Gdb.init({
            server: 'http://localhost:8080/gdb',
            token: '4b96716bcb3d42fc01ff421ea2cfd757'
        });
    })

    .controller('MainController', function ($scope, Gdb) {
        $scope.change = function () {
            Gdb.set('key', $scope.key).then(function() {
                console.log(&quot;Value set&quot;);
            });
        };

        Gdb.get('key').then(function (data) {
            $scope.key = data;
        });

        Gdb.watch('key', function (value) {
            console.log(&quot;Value updated&quot;);
            $scope.key = value;
        });
    })
;

As we can see the AngularJs application uses one small library called Gdb to handle the communications with the backend and WebSockets:

angular.module('Gdb', [])
    .factory('Gdb', function ($http, $q, $rootScope) {

        var socket,
            gdbServer,
            token,
            watches = {};

        var Gdb = {
            init: function (conf) {
                gdbServer = conf.server;
                token = conf.token;

                $http.get(gdbServer + '/conf', {params: {token: token}}).success(function (data) {
                    socket = io.connect(data.ioServer);
                    socket.on(data.chanel, function (data) {
                        watches.hasOwnProperty(data.key) ? watches[data.key](data.value) : null;
                        $rootScope.$apply();
                    });
                });
            },

            set: function (key, value) {
                var deferred = $q.defer();

                $http.post(gdbServer + '/' + key, {value: value, token: token}).success(function (data) {
                    deferred.resolve(data);
                });

                return deferred.promise;
            },

            get: function (key) {
                var deferred = $q.defer();

                $http.get(gdbServer + '/' + key, {params: {token: token}}).success(function (data) {
                    deferred.resolve(JSON.parse(data));
                });

                return deferred.promise;
            },

            watch: function (key, closure) {
                watches[key] = closure;
            }
        };

        return Gdb;
    });

And that’s all. You can see the whole project at github.

Playing with websockets, angularjs and socket.io

Aug 25

Posted by Gonzalo Ayuso

I’m a big fan of websockets. I’ve got various post about them (here, here). Last months I’m working with angularjs projects and because of that I wanna play a little bit with websockets (with socket.io) and angularjs.

I want to build one angular service.

angular.module('io.service', []).
    factory('io', function ($http) {
        var socket,
            apiServer,
            ioEvent,
            watches = {};

        return {
            init: function (conf) {
                apiServer = conf.apiServer;
                ioEvent = conf.ioEvent;

                socket = io.connect(conf.ioServer);
                socket.on(ioEvent, function (data) {
                    return watches.hasOwnProperty(data.item) ? watches[data.item](data) : null;
                });
            },

            emit: function (arguments) {
                return $http.get(apiServer + '/request', {params: arguments});
            },

            watch: function (item, closure) {
                watches[item] = closure;
            },

            unWatch: function (item) {
                delete watches[item];
            }
        };
    });

And now we can build the application

angular.module('myApp', ['io.service']).

    run(function (io) {
        io.init({
            ioServer: 'http://localhost:3000',
            apiServer: 'http://localhost:8080/api',
            ioEvent: 'io.response'
        });
    }).

    controller('MainController', function ($scope, io) {
        $scope.$watch('question', function (newValue, oldValue) {
            if (newValue != oldValue) {
                io.emit({item: 'question', newValue: newValue, oldValue: oldValue});
            }
        });

        io.watch('answer', function (data) {
            $scope.answer = data.value;
            $scope.$apply();
        });
    });

And this’s the html

<!doctype html>
<html>

<head>
    <title>ws experiment</title>
</head>

<body ng-app="myApp">

<div ng-controller="MainController">

    <input type="text" ng-model="question">
    <hr>
    <h1>Hello {{answer}}!</h1>
</div>

<script src="assets/angular/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="//localhost:3000/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>

<script src="js/io.js"></script>
<script src="js/app.js"></script>

</body>
</html>

The idea of the application is to watch one model’s variable (‘question’ in this example) and each time it changes we will send the value to the websocket server and we’ll so something (we will convert the string to upper case in our example)

As you can read in one of my previous post I don’t like to send messages from the web browser to the websocket server directly (due do to authentication issues commented here). I prefer to use one server (a Silex server in this example)

include __DIR__ . '/../../vendor/autoload.php';

use Silex\Application;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;

$app = new Application(['debug' => true]);
$app->register(new G\Io\EmitterServiceProvider());

$app->get('/request', function (Application $app, Request $request) {

    $params = [
        'item'     => $request->get('item'),
        'newValue' => strtoupper($request->get('newValue')),
        'oldValue' => $request->get('oldValue'),
    ];

    try {
        $app['io.emit']($params);
        $params['status'] = true;
    } catch (\Exception $e) {
        $params['status'] = false;
    }

    return $app->json($params);
});

$app->run();

Integrating WebSockets with PHP applications. Silex and socket.io playing together.

Dec 24

Posted by Gonzalo Ayuso

WebSockets are great. We can start a persistent connection from our browser to our server and use this connection to send real time notifications to our users. Normally when we integrate WebSockets with an existing Web application, we need to face with one slight problem. Our Web application runs on a Web server (imagine, for example one Silex application). We can use a login form and ensure all requests are authorized (using a security layer). This problem is solved years ago. We can use Basic HTTP authentification, Digtest authentification, a session based authentication, token based authentificatio, OAuth, … The problem arrives when we add WebSocket server. WebSocket server is another serve. We can use node.js, ruby, or even PHP with Rachet. But how we can ensure that WebSocket server’s requests are also authenticated? We can try to share our authentification provider between both servers, but this solution is quite “exotic”. That was the idea behind my blog post: post some time ago. I’ve been thinkin a lot about it, and also read posts and speak with colleages about this subject. Finally I’m using the following solution. Let me explain it.

Websockets are bi-directional. We can get messages in the browser and send them from browser to server. Basically the solution is to disable the messages from the browser to the server via WebSockets. In fact HTML5 provides another tool to do that called Server Side Events (aka SSE), but SSE aren’t as widely used as WebSockets. Because of that I preffer to use WebSockets (without using the browser-to-server chanel) instead of SSE.

Let’s create a simple Silex application:

class Application extends Silex\Application
{
    use Silex\Application\TwigTrait;
}

$app = new Application();

$app->register(new Silex\Provider\TwigServiceProvider(), array(
    'twig.path' => __DIR__ . '/../views',
));

$app->get('/', function () use ($app) {
    return $app->render('home.twig');
});

$app->run();

And our main template with html file

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="//localhost:8080/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
<script>
    var socket = io.connect('//localhost:8080');

    socket.on('id1', function (data) {
        console.log("mensage from websocket: " + data);
    });
</script>
</body>
</html>

Now we have Silex application that connects to a WebSockets server. I will use socket.io to build the WebSocket server:

var CONF = {
        IO: {HOST: '0.0.0.0', PORT: 8080}
    },
    io = require('socket.io').listen(CONF.IO.PORT, CONF.IO.HOST);

Whit this ultra minimal configuration we can connect from Silex application to WebSocket server and our web application will listen to messages marked as’id1′ from the WebSocket server but, how can we do to send messages? As I said before we only rely on Silex application (in this example there isn’t any security layer, but we can use our custom login). The trick is to create a new server within our node.js server. Start this server at localhost and perform a curl request from our Silex Application to our node.js server to send the WebSockets push notifications. The idea is:

User clicks a link in our html (generated by our Silex application)
This request is a standard Silex request (using our security layer)
Then Silex performs a curl request to node.js server.
If our Silex application and node.js application are in the same server we will create a new server at localhost. In this example we are going to use Express to do that.
Express server will handle requests from our Silex application (not from any other host) and will send WebSocket messages

Now our node.js application will change to

var CONF = {
        IO: {HOST: '0.0.0.0', PORT: 8080},
        EXPRESS: {HOST: 'localhost', PORT: 26300}
    },
    io = require('socket.io').listen(CONF.IO.PORT, CONF.IO.HOST),
    app = require('express')();

app.get('/emit/:id/:message', function (req, res) {
    io.sockets.emit(req.params.id, req.params.message);
    res.json('OK');
});

app.listen(CONF.EXPRESS.PORT, CONF.EXPRESS.HOST);

And our html template will change to (I will use Zepto to perform AJAX requests):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
    <li><a href="#" onclick="emit('id1', 'hello')">emit('id1', 'hello')</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" onclick="emit('id1', 'bye')">emit('id1', 'bye')</a></li>
</ul>
<script src="//localhost:8080/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/zepto/1.1.1/zepto.min.js"></script>
<script>
    var socket = io.connect('//localhost:8080');

    socket.on('id1', function (data) {
        console.log("mensage from websocket: " + data);
    });

    function emit(id, message) {
        $.get('/emit/' + id +  '/' + message);
    }
</script>
</body>
</html>

Now we need to add another route to our Silex application

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;

$app->get('/emit/{id}/{message}', function ($id, $message) use ($app) {
    $s = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($s, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost:26300/emit/{$id}/{$message}");
    curl_setopt($s, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    $content = curl_exec($s);
    $status = curl_getinfo($s, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
    curl_close($s);

    return new Response($content, $status);
});

And that’s all. Our Request from Silex arrives to WebSocket emmiter using a “secure” layer. OK, now you can said: yes, but anybody can connect to the WebSocket server and listen to ‘id1’ chanel, without any restriction. Yes, it’s true. But here you can use different solutions to ensure privacy. For example you can use a “non-obvious” chanel name based on cryptografic funcions. It’s not 100% secure, but it’s the same security layer than the standard session based security mechanism. If we know the cookie name we can perform a session hijacking attack and gain access to secure areas (without knowing the login credentials). We can generate chanel names like this: 7265cfe8fe3daa4c5069d609a0312dd2 with our Silex Application and send to the browser with an AJAX request.

I’ve created an small screencast to see the prototype in action. (source code in my github account)
In the screencast we can see how to install the prototype from github, install PHP’s vendors and the node js modules. We also can see how websocket works with two browser instances, and how to send messages directly accesing to Express application using localhost interface (and an error when I try to reach to Express server using a different network interface)

What do you think? Do you have another solution?

Scroll desktop’s Web pages remotely with our smartphone, using Node.js and WebSockets

Jul 16

Posted by Gonzalo Ayuso

Why this script? OK. It was a crazy idea. It started with one “Is it possible? Yes, let’s code it” in my mind. Let start. I want to scroll one web page in the TV’s web browser (or PC’s browser) using my smartphone lying on my couch. I’ve got a wireless mouse so I don’t really need it, but scroll the TV browser with the smartphone sounds cool, isn’t it?

The idea is the following one:

One QR code in our web page (added dinamically with JavaScrip with Google’s Chart API ). Write urls with the smartphone is hard and QR has a good hype, so we will add a QR code at the bottom of the web page with the link to the node.js server.

One socket.io server built with a node.js server for the real time communications. This node.js server will serve also a jQuery Mobile application with four buttons (with express and jade):

The server will register the WebSocket and send the real time commands to the browser (with one easy-to-hack security token).
The browser will handle the socket.io actions and controls the scroll of the web page.

The code is probably crowded by bugs and security problems, but it works and it was enough in my experiment 🙂 :

The node.js server:

var io = require('socket.io').listen(8080);

var app = require('express').createServer();
app.set('view engine', 'jade');

app.set('view options', {
    layout:false
});

app.get('/panel/:key', function (req, res) {
    var key = req.params.key;
    console.log(key);
    res.render('mobile.jade', {key:key});
});

app.get('/action/:key/:y/:action', function (req, res) {
    var key = req.params.key;
    var y = req.params.y;
    var action = req.params.action;
    sockets[key].emit('scrollTo', {y:y, action:action});
    res.send('OK');
});

app.listen(8000);

var sockets = {};
io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
    socket.on('setKey', function (key) {
        sockets[key] = socket;
    });
});

The jade template with the jquery mobile application:

!!! 5
html
    head
        meta(charset="utf-8")
        meta(name="viewport", content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1")
        title title
        link(rel='stylesheet', href='http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.1.0/jquery.mobile-1.1.0.min.css')
        script(src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js')
        script(src='http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.1.0/jquery.mobile-1.1.0.min.js')
        script(type='text/javascript')
            $(document).bind('pageinit', function() {
                $('#toTop').tap(function() {
                    $.get('/action/#{key}/0/go', function() {});
                });

We can also add more features to our application but that’s enought for this experiment. What do you think?

Talk about node.js and WebSockets

Oct 24

Posted by Gonzalo Ayuso

Last friday I spoke about node.js and Websockets with the people of The Mêlée. The talk was an introduction to node.js and focused in the new HTML5 feature: the WebSockets.

When I spoke about Websockets I also introduced the great library socket.io. The jQuery of WebSockets.

Real time monitoring PHP applications with websockets and node.js

May 9

Posted by Gonzalo Ayuso

The inspection of the error logs is a common way to detect errors and bugs. We also can show errors on-screen within our developement server, or we even can use great tools like firePHP to show our PHP errors and warnings inside our firebug console. That’s cool, but we only can see our session errors/warnings. If we want to see another’s errors we need to inspect the error log. tail -f is our friend, but we need to surf against all the warnings of all sessions to see our desired ones. Because of that I want to build a tool to monitor my PHP applications in real-time. Let’s start:

What’s the idea? The idea is catch all PHP’s errors and warnings at run time and send them to a node.js HTTP server. This server will work similar than a chat server but our clients will only be able to read the server’s logs. Basically the applications have three parts: the node.js server, the web client (html5) and the server part (PHP). Let me explain a bit each part:

The node Server

Basically it has two parts: a http server to handle the PHP errors/warnings and a websocket server to manage the realtime communications with the browser. When I say that I’m using websockets that’s means the web client will only work with a browser with websocket support like chrome. Anyway it’s pretty straightforward swap from a websocket sever to a socket.io server to use it with every browser. But websockets seems to be the future, so I will use websockets in this example.

The http server:

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
    var remoteAdrress = req.socket.remoteAddress;
    if (allowedIP.indexOf(remoteAdrress) >= 0) {
        res.writeHead(200, {
            'Content-Type': 'text/plain'
        });
        res.end('Ok\n');
        try {
            var parsedUrl = url.parse(req.url, true);
            var type = parsedUrl.query.type;
            var logString = parsedUrl.query.logString;
            var ip = eval(parsedUrl.query.logString)[0];
            if (inspectingUrl == "" ||  inspectingUrl == ip) {
                clients.forEach(function(client) {
                    client.write(logString);
                });
            }
        } catch(err) {
            console.log("500 to " + remoteAdrress);
            res.writeHead(500, {
                'Content-Type': 'text/plain'
            });
            res.end('System Error\n');
        }
    } else {
        console.log("401 to " + remoteAdrress);
        res.writeHead(401, {
            'Content-Type': 'text/plain'
        });
        res.end('Not Authorized\n');
    }
}).listen(httpConf.port, httpConf.host);

and the web socket server:

var inspectingUrl = undefined;

ws.createServer(function(websocket) {
    websocket.on('connect', function(resource) {
        var parsedUrl = url.parse(resource, true);
        inspectingUrl = parsedUrl.query.ip;
        clients.push(websocket);
    });

    websocket.on('close', function() {
        var pos = clients.indexOf(websocket);
        if (pos >= 0) {
            clients.splice(pos, 1);
        }
    });

}).listen(wsConf.port, wsConf.host);

If you want to know more about node.js and see more examples, have a look to the great site: http://nodetuts.com/. In this site Pedro Teixeira will show examples and node.js tutorials. In fact my node.js http + websoket server is a mix of two tutorials from this site.

The web client.

The web client is a simple websockets application. We will handle the websockets connection, reconnect if it dies and a bit more. I’s based on node.js chat demo

<?php $ip = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'ip', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); ?>

        Real time <?= $ip ?> monitor
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.3/jquery.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
            selectedIp = '<?= $ip ?>';

// ]]></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js.js"></script>
</pre>
<div id="toolbar">
<ul id="status">
	<li>Socket status: <span id="socketStatus">Conecting ...</span></li>
	<li>IP: <!--?= $ip == '' ? 'all' : $ip . " <a href='?ip='-->[all]" ?></li>
	<li>count: <span id="count">0</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<pre>

And the javascript magic

var timeout = 5000;
var wsServer = '192.168.2.2:8880';
var unread = 0;
var focus = false;

var count = 0;
function updateCount() {
    count++;
    $("#count").text(count);
}

function cleanString(string) {
    return string.replace(/&/g,"&amp;").replace(/</g,"&lt;").replace(/>/g,"&gt;");
}

function updateUptime () {
    var now = new Date();
    $("#uptime").text(now.toRelativeTime());
}

function updateTitle(){
    if (unread) {
        document.title = "(" + unread.toString() + ") Real time " + selectedIp + " monitor";
    } else {
        document.title = "Real time " + selectedIp + " monitor";
    }
}

function pad(n) {
    return ("0" + n).slice(-2);
}

function startWs(ip) {
    try {
        ws = new WebSocket("ws://" + wsServer + "?ip=" + ip);
        $('#toolbar').css('background', '#65A33F');
        $('#socketStatus').html('Connected to ' + wsServer);
        //console.log("startWs:" + ip);
        //listen for browser events so we know to update the document title
        $(window).bind("blur", function() {
            focus = false;
            updateTitle();
        });

        $(window).bind("focus", function() {
            focus = true;
            unread = 0;
            updateTitle();
        });
    } catch (err) {
        //console.log(err);
        setTimeout(startWs, timeout);
    }

    ws.onmessage = function(event) {
        unread++;
        updateTitle();
        var now = new Date();
        var hh = pad(now.getHours());
        var mm = pad(now.getMinutes());
        var ss = pad(now.getSeconds());

        var timeMark = '[' + hh + ':' + mm + ':' + ss + '] ';
        logString = eval(event.data);
        var host = logString[0];
        var line = "<table class='message'><tr><td width='1%' class='date'>" + timeMark + "</td><td width='1%' valign='top' class='host'><a href=?ip=" + host + ">" + host + "</a></td>";
        line += "<td class='msg-text' width='98%'>" + logString[1]; + "</td></tr>";
        if (logString[2]) {
            line += "<tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td colspan='3' class='msg-text'>" + logString[2] + "</td></tr>";
        }

        $('#log').append(line);
        updateCount();
        window.scrollBy(0, 100000000000000000);
    };

    ws.onclose = function(){
        //console.log("ws.onclose");
        $('#toolbar').css('background', '#933');
        $('#socketStatus').html('Disconected');
        setTimeout(function() {startWs(selectedIp)}, timeout);
    }
}

$(document).ready(function() {
    startWs(selectedIp);
});

The server part:

The server part will handle silently all PHP warnings and errors and it will send them to the node server. The idea is to place a minimal PHP line of code at the beginning of the application that we want to monitor. Imagine the following piece of PHP code

$a = $var[1];
$a = 1/0;
class Dummy
{
    static function err()
    {
        throw new Exception("error");
    }
}
Dummy1::err();

it will throw:
A notice: Undefined variable: var
A warning: Division by zero
An Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘error’

So we will add our small library to catch those errors and send them to the node server

include('client/NodeLog.php');
NodeLog::init('192.168.2.2');

$a = $var[1];
$a = 1/0;
class Dummy
{
    static function err()
    {
        throw new Exception("error");
    }
}
Dummy1::err();

The script will work in the same way than the fist version but if we start our node.js server in a console:

$ node server.js
HTTP server started at 192.168.2.2::5672
Web Socket server started at 192.168.2.2::8880

We will see those errors/warnings in real-time when we start our browser

Here we can see a small screencast with the working application:

This is the server side library:

class NodeLog
{
    const NODE_DEF_HOST = '127.0.0.1';
    const NODE_DEF_PORT = 5672;

    private $_host;
    private $_port;

    /**

     */

    {
        return new self(is_null($host) ? self::$_defHost : $host, is_null($port) ? self::$_defPort : $port);
    }

    function __construct($host, $port)
    {
        $this->_host = $host;
        $this->_port = $port;
    }

    /**
     * @param String $log
     * @return Array array($status, $response)
     */
    public function log($log)
    {
        list($status, $response) = $this->send(json_encode($log));
        return array($status, $response);
    }

    private function send($log)
    {
        $url = "http://{$this->_host}:{$this->_port}?logString=" . urlencode($log);

        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

        $response = curl_exec($ch);
        $status   = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
        curl_close($ch);

    }
