How to access Laravel Auth in Ratchet - php

Question

I found a post on Laravel.io on how to load Laravel sessions into Ratchet which is outdated and uses Laravel 5.4 so I've altered a few things to get this to work with Laravel 8.x
public function onOpen(ConnectionInterface $conn)
{
// Attach connection
$this->clients->attach($conn);
// Create a new session handler for this client
$session = (new SessionManager(App::getInstance()))->driver();
// Get the cookies
$cookiesRaw = $conn->httpRequest->getHeader('Cookie');
$cookies = [];
if(count($cookiesRaw)) {
$cookies = Header::parse($cookiesRaw)[0]; // Array of cookies
}
// Get the laravel's one - todo: try catch
$sessionId = Crypt::decrypt(urldecode($cookies[Config::get('session.cookie')]), false);
var_dump($sessionId);
// Set the session id to the session handler
$session->setId($sessionId);
// Bind the session handler to the client connection
$conn->session = $session;
var_dump($conn->session->getId());
}
I then altered the send message too because I am receiving unexpected results.
public function onMessage(ConnectionInterface $conn, MessageInterface $msg)
{
$conn->session->start();
$sessionId = $conn->session->getId();
var_dump($sessionId);
if(!is_null(($decoded = json_decode(base64_decode($msg), true))) && array_diff(['message'], array_keys($decoded)))
return;
var_dump($decoded['message']);
return;
}
I test this with JS front-end like so:
class WebRTC
{
socket;
constants;
timerId;
constructor(protocol, fqdns, port) {
this.constants = {
protocol: protocol,
fqdns: fqdns,
port: port
};
this.listenChanges();
}
listenChanges() {
this.socket = new WebSocket(`${this.constants.protocol}://${this.constants.fqdns}:${this.constants.port}`);
this.socket.onmessage = e => {
console.log(atob(e.data));
};
this.socket.onerror = () => {
this.socket.close();
};
this.socket.onopen = () => {
console.info('Connected to WebRTC Chat Server...');
this.socket.send(btoa(JSON.stringify({
message: '{{ session()->getId() }}' // Expected session
})));
clearInterval(this.timerId);
this.socket.onclose = () => {
this.timerId = setInterval(() => {
this.listenChanges();
}, 1000);
};
};
}
}
new WebRTC('ws', '127.0.0.1', '8080');
& When the connection opens, I sent the session()->getId() which is the expected session I need. However, my output in the CLI is:
onOpen() : $sessionId
string(81) "b0e41cf0d856bdfc8427e1fdde62d5a154519f9c|MLXa9H2BbnQmySt2hRB360UANxLGHyz6iRMxGcoG"
onOpen() : $conn->session->getId()
string(40) "qyaDOQjNFlbrbjvvKRE1m5sN0dsGqqAsoMfkeqyU"
onMessage(): $conn->session->getId()
string(40) "qyaDOQjNFlbrbjvvKRE1m5sN0dsGqqAsoMfkeqyU"
JS blade formatted actual session that is sent as a message
string(40) "MLXa9H2BbnQmySt2hRB360UANxLGHyz6iRMxGcoG"
Here, my expected onMessage() method receive the dependency injected $conn (ConnectionInterface) with the ->session->getId() of the actual session()->getId() so I can make Auth::user() work.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? I tried the var_dump($conn->session->get(Auth::getName())); as the Laravel.Io says to do but it returns null on the var_dump and my user is logged in.
This should then give me access to use User::find() or Auth::user().
