socket for api in django

Create a Django view to establish a WebSocket connection using channels.

1. Install Channels package:

pip install channels

1. Add 'channels' and 'yourapp' to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'channels',
    'yourapp',
    ...
]

1. Create a consumers.py file in your app and define a WebSocket consumer:

from channels.generic.websocket import WebsocketConsumer

class YourConsumer(WebsocketConsumer):
    def connect(self):
        # Called on connection
        pass

    def disconnect(self, close_code):
        # Called on disconnection
        pass

    def receive(self, text_data):
        # Called when data is received
        pass

1. Create a routing file in your app:

from django.urls import path
from . import consumers

websocket_urlpatterns = [
    path('ws/your_url/', consumers.YourConsumer.as_asgi()),
]

1. Include the routing configuration in your project's routing file (e.g., routing.py):

from channels.routing import ProtocolTypeRouter, URLRouter
import yourapp.routing

application = ProtocolTypeRouter({
    'websocket': URLRouter(
        yourapp.routing.websocket_urlpatterns
    ),
})
