Processing data sent by sockets in django-channels

[Samuel Muiruri]

According to django-channels' github any "help" related issue should be posted here, I've asked this question before here and on stack with no response, don't feel the need to but if I don't get an adequate response I might need to hire a dev to implement this for me.

I have this code for a socket connection

socket = new WebSocket("ws://" + window.location.host + "/chat/");

socket.onmessage = function(response) {

   console.log(response.data);

}

socket.onopen = function() {

   socket.send({"test":"data"});

}

// Call onopen directly if socket is already open

if (socket.readyState == WebSocket.OPEN) socket.onopen();

works nicely and connects to this route (even though it's supposed to look for /chat/ but I can work on setting this later)

from gallery.consumers import ws_connect, ws_message

channel_routing = [

   # Wire up websocket channels to our consumers:

   route("websocket.connect", ws_connect),

   route("websocket.receive", ws_message),

]

and in the consumers file

import json

from channels import Group

from channels.sessions import channel_session

# Connected to websocket.connect

@channel_session

def ws_connect(message, key):

    # Accept connection

    message.reply_channel.send({"accept": True})

# Connected to websocket.receive

@channel_session

def ws_message(message, key):

    reply = json.dumps({'status':'ok'})

    message.reply_channel.send({"text": reply})

# Connected to websocket.disconnect

@channel_session

def ws_disconnect(message, key):

    message.reply_channel.send({'accept': False})

first hurdle I need to get over is getting the data sent via sockets i.e. 

socket.onopen = function() {

    socket.send({"test":"data"});

}

then I can move to having this trigger a background process so I can send the status and finally the final result via sockets.

Hi,

I don't keep track of stack overflow so I don't know if anybody else would answer stuff there.

Secondly, I replied to a very similar question you asked on this list last week - is this the same problem as that?
