JaWS

JavaScript and WebSockets used to create responsive webpages.

JaWS embraces a "server holds the truth" philosophy and keeps the complexity of modern browser applications on the backend. The client-side script becomes a thin transport layer that faithfully relays events and DOM updates.

Features

  • Moves web application state fully to the server.
  • Keeps the browser intentionally dumb – no implicit trust in JavaScript logic running on the client.
  • Binds application data to UI elements using user-defined tags and type-aware binders.
  • Integrates with the standard library as well as third-party routers such as Echo.
  • Ships with a small standard library of UI widgets and helper types that can be extended through interfaces.

There is a demo application with plenty of comments to use as a tutorial.

Installation

JaWS is distributed as a standard Go module. To add it to an existing project use the go get command:

go get github.com/linkdata/jaws

After the dependency is added, your Go module will be able to import and use JaWS as demonstrated below.

For widget authoring guidance see lib/ui/README.md.

Quick start

The following minimal program renders a single range input whose value is kept on the server. Copy the snippet into a new module, run go mod tidy, and start it with go run .. Visiting http://localhost:8080/ demonstrates the full request lifecycle.

Usage

import (
	"html/template"
	"log/slog"
	"net/http"
	"sync"

	"github.com/linkdata/jaws"
	"github.com/linkdata/jaws/lib/bind"
	"github.com/linkdata/jaws/lib/ui"
)

const indexhtml = `
<html>
<head>{{$.HeadHTML}}</head>
<body>{{$.Range .Dot}}{{$.TailHTML}}</body>
</html>
`

func main() {
	jw, err := jaws.New() // create a default JaWS instance
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer jw.Close()           // ensure we clean up
	jw.Logger = slog.Default() // optionally set the logger to use

	// parse our template and inform JaWS about it
	templates := template.Must(template.New("index").Parse(indexhtml))
	jw.AddTemplateLookuper(templates)

	go jw.Serve()                             // start the JaWS processing loop
	http.DefaultServeMux.Handle("GET /jaws/", jw) // ensure the JaWS routes are handled

	var mu sync.Mutex
	var f float64

	http.DefaultServeMux.Handle("GET /", ui.Handler(jw, "index", bind.New(&mu, &f)))
	slog.Error(http.ListenAndServe("localhost:8080", nil).Error())
}

Next steps when building a real application typically include:

  1. Adding more templates and wiring them with AddTemplateLookuper.
  2. Creating types that implement JawsRender and JawsUpdate so they can be reused as widgets.
  3. Introducing sessions (see below) to keep track of user state.
Creating HTML entities

When JawsRender() is called for a UI object, it can call NewElement() to create new Elements while writing their initial HTML code to the web page. Each Element is a unique instance of a UI object bound to a specific Request, and will have a unique HTML id.

If an HTML entity is not registered in a Request, JaWS will not forward events from it, nor perform DOM manipulations for it.

Dynamic updates of HTML entities is done using the different methods on the Element object when the JawsUpdate() method is called.

JavaScript events

Supported JavaScript events are sent to the server and are first offered to any extra objects added to the Element, in reverse registration order (last added first). If none handle the event, the Element's UI type is invoked. If none handle the event, it is ignored.

Event handlers should return ErrEventUnhandled if they didn't handle the event or want to pass it to the next handler.

  • onclick invokes JawsClick (val as x<SP>y<SP>keystate<SP>name)
  • oncontextmenu invokes JawsContextMenu (val as x<SP>y<SP>keystate<SP>name)
  • oninput invokes JawsInput
  • what.Set events invoke JawsInput (val as path=json)

Technical notes

WebSocket wire format notes

JaWS WebSocket messages are line-based and field-delimited: What<TAB>Jid<TAB>Data<LF>. Keep these invariants in mind when changing client/server protocol code:

  • The browser is not trusted. Incoming frames are validated (What, Jid, framing, quoting) and invalid frames are ignored/dropped.
  • what.Remove means remove child element(s). For browser-originated Remove messages, the WebSocket Jid identifies the parent/container in the DOM and Data carries removed managed child IDs. The server only removes child IDs that are known in the current request.
  • what.Replace replaces the target element HTML and carries plain HTML in Data.
  • what.Call/what.Set use path + "=" + json inside Data. Embedded tabs or newlines in JSON break message framing; Jaws.JsCall compacts valid JSON before sending.
  • jawsVar(name, ...) resolves properties from window, but WebSocket routing uses the top-level symbol name only. Register JaWS JsVar names as top-level identifiers (example: app), and use dotted suffixes as the JSON path (example: jawsVar("app.state", value) sends path state).
HTTP request flow and associating the WebSocket

When a new HTTP request is received, create a JaWS Request using the JaWS object's NewRequest() method, then use the Request's HeadHTML() method in the <head> section and TailHTML() before the closing </body> tag.

When the client has finished loading the document and parsed the scripts, the JaWS JavaScript will request a WebSocket connection on /jaws/*, with the * being the encoded Request.JawsKey value.

On receiving the WebSocket HTTP request, decode the key parameter from the URL and call the JaWS object's UseRequest() method to retrieve the Request created in the first step. Then call its ServeHTTP() method to start up the WebSocket and begin processing JavaScript events and DOM updates.

Configuration lifecycle

Set exported Jaws configuration fields immediately after jaws.New() and before exposing handlers, creating Requests, or starting Serve() / ServeWithTimeout(). These fields are ordinary Go fields, not synchronized live configuration knobs.

If you change fields that affect generated page metadata, such as Debug or the resource list passed to GenerateHeadHTML(), call GenerateHeadHTML() before rendering new pages so Request.HeadHTML() sees the updated data.

Configure Jaws.Logger in long-running applications. Initial render errors are returned to the caller, but update-time paths such as template refreshes and dynamic child appends cannot return errors to browser event handlers; they are reported through MustLog(), which panics when no logger is configured.

WebSocket keepalive ping

JaWS can periodically ping active WebSocket connections to detect peers that disappeared without a close handshake.

Set Jaws.WebSocketPingInterval to control this. The default is jaws.DefaultWebSocketPingInterval (1 minute). Set it to 0 or a negative value to disable keepalive pings.

Safe to call before Serve()

The following APIs are safe to call before starting the JaWS processing loop (Serve() or ServeWithTimeout()):

  • Construction and lifecycle: jaws.New(), (*Jaws).Close(), (*Jaws).Done().
  • Configuration: (*Jaws).AddTemplateLookuper(), (*Jaws).RemoveTemplateLookuper(), (*Jaws).LookupTemplate(), (*Jaws).GenerateHeadHTML(), (*Jaws).Setup(), (*Jaws).FaviconURL().
  • Inspection and logging helpers: (*Jaws).RequestCount(), (*Jaws).RequestCounts(), (*Jaws).Pending(), (*Jaws).SessionCount(), (*Jaws).Sessions(), (*Jaws).Log(), (*Jaws).MustLog().
  • Static/ping JaWS endpoints via (*Jaws).ServeHTTP(): /jaws/.ping, /jaws/.jaws.<hash>.js, /jaws/.jaws.<hash>.css.

Broadcasting APIs are not safe before the processing loop starts. In particular, (*Jaws).Broadcast() (and helpers that call it), (*Session).Broadcast(), (*Session).Reload() and (*Session).Close() may block before Serve() or ServeWithTimeout() is running.

Secure Response Headers

Use (*Jaws).SecureHeadersMiddleware(next) to wrap page handlers with a security-header baseline and a Content-Security-Policy that matches the resources currently configured for JaWS.

The baseline headers come from github.com/linkdata/secureheaders.

The middleware starts from secureheaders.DefaultHeaders(), replaces Content-Security-Policy with jw.ContentSecurityPolicy(), and does not trust forwarded HTTPS headers.

page := ui.Handler(jw, "index", bind.New(&mu, &f))
http.DefaultServeMux.Handle("GET /", jw.SecureHeadersMiddleware(page))
Routing

JaWS doesn't enforce any particular router, but it does require several endpoints to be registered in whichever router you choose to use. All of the endpoints start with "/jaws/", and Jaws.ServeHTTP() will handle all of them.

  • /jaws/.jaws.<hash>.css

    Serves the built-in JaWS stylesheet.

    The response should be cached indefinitely.

  • /jaws/.jaws.<hash>.js

    Serves the built-in JaWS client-side JavaScript.

    The response should be cached indefinitely.

  • /jaws/[0-9a-z]+ (and /jaws/[0-9a-z]+/noscript)

    The WebSocket endpoint. The trailing string must be decoded using assets.JawsKeyValue() (github.com/linkdata/jaws/lib/assets) and then the matching JaWS Request retrieved using the JaWS object's UseRequest() method.

    If the Request is not found, return a 404 Not Found, otherwise call the Request ServeHTTP() method to start the WebSocket and begin processing events and updates.

  • /jaws/.ping

    This endpoint is called by the JavaScript while waiting for the server to come online. This is done in order to not spam the WebSocket endpoint with connection requests, and browsers are better at handling XHR requests failing.

    If you don't have a JaWS object, or if its completion channel is closed (see Jaws.Done()), return 503 Service Unavailable. If you're ready to serve requests, return 204 No Content.

    The response should not be cached.

Handling the routes with the standard library's http.DefaultServeMux:

jw, err := jaws.New()
if err != nil {
  panic(err)
}
defer jw.Close()
go jw.Serve()
http.DefaultServeMux.Handle("GET /jaws/", jw)

Handling the routes with Echo:

jw, err := jaws.New()
if err != nil {
  panic(err)
}
defer jw.Close()
go jw.Serve()
router := echo.New()
router.GET("/jaws/*", func(c echo.Context) error {
  jw.ServeHTTP(c.Response().Writer, c.Request())
  return nil
})
HTML rendering

HTML output elements (e.g. ui.NewDiv() and ui.RequestWriter.Div()) accept values that can be made into a bind.HTMLGetter using bind.MakeHTMLGetter().

In order of precedence, this can be:

  • bind.HTMLGetter: JawsGetHTML(*Element) template.HTML to be used as-is.
  • bind.Getter[string]: JawsGet(*Element) string that will be escaped using html.EscapeString.
  • fmt.Stringer: String() string that will be escaped using html.EscapeString.
  • a static template.HTML or string to be used as-is with no HTML escaping.
  • everything else is rendered using fmt.Sprint() and escaped using html.EscapeString.

You can use bind.New(...).GetHTML(...), bind.HTMLGetterFunc() or bind.StringGetterFunc() to build a custom renderer for trivial rendering tasks, or define a custom type implementing HTMLGetter. Plain strings are treated as trusted HTML. Escape untrusted string input yourself, or pass it through a bind.Getter[string], bind.StringGetterFunc() or fmt.Stringer so JaWS escapes it before rendering.

Initial HTML rendering returns errors directly. Later updates run from the request processing loop, so custom JawsUpdate implementations should keep their work deterministic and report unrecoverable failures through Element.Request.MustLog() or Element.Jaws.MustLog().

Data binding

HTML input elements (e.g. ui.RequestWriter.Range()) require bi-directional data flow between the server and the browser. The first argument to these is usually a bind.Setter[T] where T is one of string, float64, bool or time.Time. It can also be a bind.Getter[T], in which case the HTML element should be made read-only.

Since all data access need to be protected with locks, you will usually use bind.New() to create a bind.Binder[T] that combines a (RW)Locker and a pointer to a value of type T. It also allows you to add chained setters, getters and on-success handlers.

Session handling

JaWS has non-persistent session handling integrated. Sessions won't be persisted across restarts and must have an expiry time.

Use one of these patterns:

  • Wrap page handlers with Jaws.Session(handler) to ensure a session exists.
  • Call Jaws.NewSession(w, r) explicitly to create and attach a fresh session cookie.
  • Set Jaws.AutoSession to lazily create an anonymous session during a successful WebSocket upgrade when a Request has none.

Manual session creation is still the primary pattern when the initial render depends on session data. This is especially important for authentication: authenticate the user, create or retrieve the session, and populate it before calling NewRequest() and rendering the page.

When subsequent Requests are created with NewRequest(), if the HTTP request has the cookie set and comes from the correct IP, the new Request will have access to that Session.

Session key-value pairs can be accessed using Request.Set() and Request.Get(), or directly using a Session object. It's safe to do this if there is no session; Get() will return nil, and Set() will be a no-op.

Sessions are bound to the client IP. Attempting to access an existing session from a new IP will fail.

No data is stored in the client browser except the randomly generated session cookie. You can set the cookie name in Jaws.CookieName, the default is derived from the executable name and falls back to jaws.

A note on the Context

The Request object embeds a context.Context inside its struct, contrary to recommended Go practice.

The reason is that there is no unbroken call chain from the time the Request object is created when the initial HTTP request comes in and when it is requested during the JavaScript WebSocket HTTP request.

Security of the WebSocket callback

Each JaWS request gets a unique 64-bit random value assigned to it when you create the Request object. This value is written to the HTML output so it can be read by the JavaScript, and used to construct the WebSocket callback URL.

Once the WebSocket call comes in, the value is consumed by that request. The same value can only be used again if a later Request receives the same random value. And that's fine, since JaWS guarantees that no two Requests waiting for WebSocket calls can have the same value at the same time.

In addition to this, Requests that are not claimed by a WebSocket call get cleaned up at regular intervals. By default an unclaimed Request is removed after 10 seconds.

JaWS also limits unclaimed Requests per client IP. The default Jaws.MaxPendingRequestsPerIP value is 100; setting it to zero or a negative value disables this cap. When the cap is reached, creating a new Request evicts the oldest pending Request from the same IP, so its old WebSocket key can no longer be claimed. The cap uses the IP parsed from http.Request.RemoteAddr.

In order to guess (and thus hijack) a WebSocket you'd have to make on the order of 2^63 requests before the genuine request comes in, or 10 seconds pass assuming you can reliably prevent the genuine WebSocket request.

Overview

Package jaws provides a mechanism to create dynamic webpages using JavaScript and WebSockets.

It integrates well with Go's html/template package, but can be used without it. It can be used with any router that supports the standard http.Handler interface.

}

Jaws holds the server-side state and configuration for a JaWS instance.

A single Jaws value coordinates template lookup, session handling and the request lifecycle that keeps the browser and backend synchronized via WebSockets. The zero value is not ready for use; construct instances with New to ensure the helper goroutines and static assets are prepared.

The exported configuration fields are ordinary fields, not live synchronized settings. Set them before exposing handlers, creating Requests, or starting Jaws.Serve / Jaws.ServeWithTimeout. Methods document their own concurrency behavior and may be called concurrently when stated.

func New 

func New() (jw *Jaws, err error)

New allocates a JaWS instance with the default configuration.

The returned Jaws value is ready for use: static assets are embedded, internal goroutines are configured and the request pool is primed. Call Jaws.Close when the instance is no longer needed to free associated resources.

func (*Jaws) AddTemplateLookuper added in v0.45.0 

func (jw *Jaws) AddTemplateLookuper(tl TemplateLookuper) (err error)

AddTemplateLookuper adds a TemplateLookuper.

The lookuper must be comparable so it can be removed with Jaws.RemoveTemplateLookuper.

func (*Jaws) Alert 

func (jw *Jaws) Alert(level, msg string)

Alert sends an alert to all Request values.

The lvl argument should be one of Bootstrap's alert levels: primary, secondary, success, danger, warning, info, light or dark.

func (*Jaws) Append 

func (jw *Jaws) Append(target any, html template.HTML)

Append calls the JavaScript appendChild method on all HTML elements matching target.

func (*Jaws) Broadcast 

func (jw *Jaws) Broadcast(msg wire.Message)

Broadcast sends a message to all Request values.

It must not be called before the JaWS processing loop (Jaws.Serve or Jaws.ServeWithTimeout) is running. Otherwise this call may block once the internal broadcast channel fills.

All convenience helpers on Jaws that call Broadcast inherit this requirement.

func (*Jaws) Close 

func (jw *Jaws) Close()

Close frees resources associated with the Jaws object, and closes the completion channel if the Jaws was created with New. Once the completion channel is closed, broadcasts and sends may be discarded. Subsequent calls to Close() have no effect.

func (*Jaws) ContentSecurityPolicy added in v0.300.0 

func (jw *Jaws) ContentSecurityPolicy() (s string)

ContentSecurityPolicy returns the generated Content-Security-Policy header value.

func (*Jaws) Delete added in v0.31.0 

func (jw *Jaws) Delete(target any)

Delete removes the HTML element(s) matching target.

func (*Jaws) Dirty added in v0.31.0 

func (jw *Jaws) Dirty(dirtyTags ...any)

Dirty marks all Element values that have one or more of the given tags as dirty.

Note that if any of the tags implement tag.TagGetter, it will be called with a nil Request. Prefer using Request.Dirty which avoids this.

func (*Jaws) Done 

func (jw *Jaws) Done() <-chan struct{}

Done returns the channel that is closed when Jaws.Close has been called.

func (*Jaws) FaviconURL added in v0.111.6 

func (jw *Jaws) FaviconURL() (s string)

FaviconURL returns the favicon URL discovered by Jaws.GenerateHeadHTML.

func (*Jaws) GenerateHeadHTML added in v0.5.0 

func (jw *Jaws) GenerateHeadHTML(extra ...string) (err error)

GenerateHeadHTML regenerates the HTML code that goes in the HEAD section, ensuring that the provided URL resources in extra are loaded, along with the JaWS JavaScript.

If one of the resources is named "favicon", its URL will be stored and can be retrieved using Jaws.FaviconURL.

You only need to call this if you add your own images, scripts and stylesheets.

func (*Jaws) GetSession added in v0.11.0 

func (jw *Jaws) GetSession(r *http.Request) (sess *Session)

GetSession returns the Session associated with the given http.Request, or nil.

func (*Jaws) Insert 

func (jw *Jaws) Insert(target any, where, html string)

Insert calls the JavaScript 'insertBefore()' method on all HTML elements matching target.

The position parameter 'where' may be either an HTML ID, a child index or the text "null".

func (*Jaws) JsCall added in v0.114.0 

func (jw *Jaws) JsCall(tagValue any, jsfunc, jsonstr string)

JsCall calls the JavaScript function jsfunc with the argument jsonstr on all Request values that have the target UI tag.

func (jw *Jaws) LookupTemplate(name string) *template.Template

LookupTemplate queries the known TemplateLookuper values in the order they were added and returns the first found.

func (*Jaws) MustLog added in v0.1.1 

func (jw *Jaws) MustLog(err error)

MustLog sends an error to the Logger set in the Jaws or panics with the given error if no Logger is set. Has no effect if err is nil.

Some update-time paths cannot return errors to their caller and report them through MustLog. Set [Jaws.Logger] when those errors should be logged instead of treated as fatal programming errors.

func (*Jaws) NewRequest 

func (jw *Jaws) NewRequest(r *http.Request) (rq *Request)

NewRequest returns a new pending JaWS request.

Call this as soon as you start processing an HTML request, and store the returned Request pointer so it can be used while constructing the HTML response in order to register the JaWS IDs you use in the response, and use its [Request.JawsKey] when sending the JavaScript portion of the reply.

Automatic timeout handling is performed by Jaws.ServeWithTimeout. The default Jaws.Serve helper uses a 10-second timeout.

func (*Jaws) NewSession added in v0.26.0 

func (jw *Jaws) NewSession(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) (sess *Session)

NewSession creates a new Session.

Any pre-existing Session will be cleared and closed. This may call Session.Close on an existing session and therefore requires the JaWS processing loop (Jaws.Serve or Jaws.ServeWithTimeout) to be running.

Subsequent Request values created with Jaws.NewRequest that have the cookie set and originate from the same IP will be able to access the Session.

The total count includes all Requests, including those being rendered, those waiting for the WebSocket callback and those active. The active count includes Requests whose WebSocket Request.ServeHTTP loop is running.

func (*Jaws) SecureHeadersMiddleware added in v0.300.0 

func (jw *Jaws) SecureHeadersMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler

SecureHeadersMiddleware wraps next with security headers that match the current JaWS configuration.

It clones secureheaders.DefaultHeaders(), replacing the Content-Security-Policy value with Jaws.ContentSecurityPolicy so responses allow the resources configured by Jaws.GenerateHeadHTML.

The returned middleware does not trust forwarded HTTPS headers. The next handler must be non-nil.

func (*Jaws) Serve 

func (jw *Jaws) Serve()

Serve calls ServeWithTimeout(DefaultWebSocketTimeout). It is intended to run on its own goroutine. It returns when Jaws.Close is called.

func (jw *Jaws) Setup(handleFn HandleFunc, prefix string, extras ...any) (err error)

Setup configures Jaws with extra functionality and resources.

The list of extras can be strings, *url.URL or *staticserve.StaticServe URL resources, or a setup function matching SetupFunc such as jawsboot.Setup.

It calls Jaws.GenerateHeadHTML with the final list of URLs, with any relative URL paths prefixed with prefix.

func (*Jaws) UseRequest 

func (jw *Jaws) UseRequest(jawsKey uint64, r *http.Request) (rq *Request)

UseRequest extracts the JaWS Request with the given key from the request map if it exists and the HTTP request remote IP matches.

Call it when receiving the WebSocket connection on "/jaws/:key" to get the associated Request, and then call its Request.ServeHTTP method to process the WebSocket messages.

Returns nil if the key was not found or the IP doesn't match, in which case you should return an HTTP "404 Not Found" status.

type Jid added in v0.31.0 

type Jid = jid.Jid // convenience alias

Jid is the identifier type used for HTML elements managed by JaWS.

It is provided as a convenience alias to the value defined in the jid subpackage so applications do not have to import that package directly when working with element IDs.

}

Renderer renders the initial HTML for a UI object.

type Request 

type Request struct {
	Jaws    *Jaws  // (read-only) the JaWS instance the Request belongs to
	JawsKey uint64 // (read-only) a random number used in the WebSocket URI to identify this Request

	Rendering atomic.Bool // set to true by RequestWriter.Write()
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Request maintains the state for a JaWS WebSocket connection, and handles processing of events and broadcasts.

Note that we have to store the context inside the struct because there is no call chain between the Request being created and it being used once the WebSocket is created.

func (*Request) Alert 

func (rq *Request) Alert(level, msg string)

Alert attempts to show an alert message on the current request webpage if it has an HTML element with the id "jaws-alert". The lvl argument should be one of Bootstrap's alert levels: primary, secondary, success, danger, warning, info, light or dark.

The default JaWS JavaScript only supports Bootstrap dismissible alerts. See Jaws.Broadcast for processing-loop requirements.

func (*Session) Close added in v0.17.0 

func (sess *Session) Close() (cookie *http.Cookie)

Close invalidates and expires the Session. Future Request values won't be able to associate with it, and Session.Cookie will return a deletion cookie.

Existing Request values already associated with the Session will ask the browser to reload the pages. Key/value pairs in the Session are left unmodified; use Session.Clear to remove all of them.

It must not be called before the JaWS processing loop (Jaws.Serve or Jaws.ServeWithTimeout) is running, because reload broadcasts may block.
