get json sent to channels in view

[Samuel Muiruri]

I have this javascript code that send data to channels

// Note that the path doesn't matter for routing; any WebSocket
// connection gets bumped over to WebSocket consumers
socket = new WebSocket("ws://" + window.location.host + "/chat/");
socket.onmessage = function(e) {
    alert(e.data);
}
socket.onopen = function() {
    socket.send({"test":"data"});
}
// Call onopen directly if socket is already open
if (socket.readyState == WebSocket.OPEN) socket.onopen();

I'm curios how from message I can get the json {"test":"data"}

here's the view

# Connected to websocket.connect
@channel_session
def ws_connect(message, key):
    # Accept connection
    message.reply_channel.send({"accept": True})

​if i try message.content['test'] I get a key error

​    key = message['test']

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/channels/message.py", line 36, in __getitem__

    return self.content[key]

KeyError: 'test'

You want to look for incoming data on the "websocket.receive" channel, which will call you once per message you send down with the right data. That's "websocket.connect", which happens after the socket opens but before data is sent down it.
