ApiGatewayWebSocket

The ApiGatewayWebSocket component lets you add an Amazon API Gateway WebSocket API to your app.

Create the API

const api = new sst.aws.ApiGatewayWebSocket("MyApi");

Add a custom domain

new sst.aws.ApiGatewayWebSocket("MyApi", {
  domain: "api.example.com"
});

Add routes

api.route("$connect", "src/connect.handler");
api.route("$disconnect", "src/disconnect.handler");
api.route("$default", "src/default.handler");
api.route("sendMessage", "src/sendMessage.handler");

Constructor

new ApiGatewayWebSocket(name, args?, opts?)

Parameters

• name string

• args? ApiGatewayWebSocketArgs

• opts? ComponentResourceOptions

ApiGatewayWebSocketArgs

accessLog?

Type Input<Object>

• retention?

Default {retention: “forever”}

Configure the API Gateway logs in CloudWatch. By default, access logs are enabled and kept forever.

{
  accessLog: {
    retention: "1 week"
  }
}

accessLog.retention?

Type Input<“1 day” | “3 days” | “5 days” | “1 week” | “2 weeks” | “1 month” | “2 months” | “3 months” | “4 months” | “5 months” | “6 months” | “1 year” | “13 months” | “18 months” | “2 years” | “3 years” | “5 years” | “6 years” | “7 years” | “8 years” | “9 years” | “10 years” | “forever”>

Default forever

The duration the API Gateway logs are kept in CloudWatch.

domain?

Type Input<string | Object>

• cert?

• dns?

• name

• path?

Set a custom domain for your WebSocket API.

Automatically manages domains hosted on AWS Route 53, Cloudflare, and Vercel. For other providers, you’ll need to pass in a cert that validates domain ownership and add the DNS records.

Tip

Built-in support for AWS Route 53, Cloudflare, and Vercel. And manual setup for other providers.

By default this assumes the domain is hosted on Route 53.

{
  domain: "example.com"
}

For domains hosted on Cloudflare.

{
  domain: {
    name: "example.com",
    dns: sst.cloudflare.dns()
  }
}

domain.cert?

Type Input<string>

The ARN of an ACM (AWS Certificate Manager) certificate that proves ownership of the domain. By default, a certificate is created and validated automatically.

Tip

You need to pass in a cert for domains that are not hosted on supported dns providers.

To manually set up a domain on an unsupported provider, you’ll need to:

1. Validate that you own the domain by creating an ACM certificate. You can either validate it by setting a DNS record or by verifying an email sent to the domain owner.
2. Once validated, set the certificate ARN as the cert and set dns to false.
3. Add the DNS records in your provider to point to the API Gateway URL.

{
  domain: {
    name: "example.com",
    dns: false,
    cert: "arn:aws:acm:us-east-1:112233445566:certificate/3a958790-8878-4cdc-a396-06d95064cf63"
  }
}

domain.dns?

Type Input<false | sst.aws.dns | sst.cloudflare.dns | sst.vercel.dns>

Default sst.aws.dns

The DNS provider to use for the domain. Defaults to the AWS.

Takes an adapter that can create the DNS records on the provider. This can automate validating the domain and setting up the DNS routing.

Supports Route 53, Cloudflare, and Vercel adapters. For other providers, you’ll need to set dns to false and pass in a certificate validating ownership via cert.

Specify the hosted zone ID for the Route 53 domain.

{
  domain: {
    name: "example.com",
    dns: sst.aws.dns({
      zone: "Z2FDTNDATAQYW2"
    })
  }
}

Use a domain hosted on Cloudflare, needs the Cloudflare provider.

{
  domain: {
    name: "example.com",
    dns: sst.cloudflare.dns()
  }
}

Use a domain hosted on Vercel, needs the Vercel provider.

{
  domain: {
    name: "example.com",
    dns: sst.vercel.dns()
  }
}

domain.name

Type Input<string>

The custom domain you want to use.

{
  domain: {
    name: "example.com"
  }
}

Can also include subdomains based on the current stage.

{
  domain: {
    name: `${$app.stage}.example.com`
  }
}

domain.path?

Type Input<string>

The base mapping for the custom domain. This adds a suffix to the URL of the API.

Given the following base path and domain name.

{
  domain: {
    name: "api.example.com",
    path: "v1"
  }
}

The full URL of the API will be https://api.example.com/v1/.

Note

There’s an extra trailing slash when a base path is set.

Be default there is no base path, so if the name is api.example.com, the full URL will be https://api.example.com.

Methods

route

route(route, handler, args?)

Parameters

• route string

  The path for the route.

• handler string | FunctionArgs

  The function that’ll be invoked.

• args? ApiGatewayWebSocketRouteArgs

  Configure the route.

Returns ApiGatewayWebSocketRoute

Add a route to the API Gateway WebSocket API.

There are three predefined routes:

• $connect: when the client connects to the API
• $disconnect: when the client or the server disconnects from the API
• $default: the default or catch-all route

In addition, you can create custom routes. When a request comes in, the API Gateway will look the specific route defined by the user. If no route matches, the $default route will be invoked.

Here’s how you add a simple route.

api.route("sendMessage", "src/sendMessage.handler");

Add a default route.

api.route("$default", "src/default.handler");

Enable auth for a route.

api.route("sendMessage", "src/sendMessage.handler", {
  auth: {
    iam: true
  }
});

Customize the route handler.

api.route("sendMessage", {
  handler: "src/sendMessage.handler",
  memory: "2048 MB"
});
