Websockets in Remix

The problem

The only way I could add a Websocket endpoint to my app, was to add an Express route to handle it. But since my whole app, thus my Party manager, is in Remix, I couldn't use WS with express to communicate with my Party manager and my clients.

The solution

Aside of this project, I was creating my own REST API in Rust with Actix. So I will add a GraphQL (Juniper) endpoint for my Party manager to it.
And, since they have a Websocket feature, I think I'm gonna migrate all the back-end of my Remix app to Actix and keep the Express server for SSR and probably Cookie management.

Progress

Move the whole Party manager class to Rust
Create a GraphQL endpoint
Create a GraphQL schema
Create a GraphQL resolver for each Party method
Create a Websocket enpoint to send Party/Spotify data
Change Polling to native browser Websocket client-side
Configure the websocket as excepted server side
Use the websocket as excepeted client side
