UHST #
User Hosted Secure Transmission (UHST) for Flutter in Dart
About #
UHST is client library for the User Hosted Secure Transmission framework.
It is able to:
send messages from client and listen for messages broadcasted from host
broadcast messages by host
listen messages from multiple clients by host
You can see an implemented example and source for it on GitHub
Please notice current version limitations:
it supports string typed messages only.
require server with UHST implemented protocol. PLease see an example of ready to go server on GitHub.

Usage #
Assuming you have loaded the library, first create a new instance:
var uhst = UHST();

Refer to the documentation to learn about the options you can pass
(including your own Relay server URL, WebRTC configuration, etc.) .
Host #
Host in UHST is a peer which every other peer connects to.
This concept is similar to listen-server in multiplayer games.
Please be sure, before reconnecting to another host, to close previous connection.
The simplest way to create a new host is:
var host = uhst.host("testHost");
host?.disconnect();
host
?..onReady(handler: ({required String hostId}) {
setState(() {
hostMessages.add('Host Ready! Using $hostId');
print('host is ready!');
_hostIdController.text = hostId;
});
})
..onException(handler: ({required dynamic exception}) {
print('exception received! $exception');
if (exception is HostIdAlreadyInUse) {
// this is expected if you refresh the page
// connection is still alive on the relay
// just need to wait
setState(() {
hostMessages
.add('HostId already in use, retrying in 15 seconds...!');
});
} else {
setState(() {
hostMessages.add(exception.toString());
});
}
})
..onConnection(handler: ({required UhstSocket uhstSocket}) {
uhstSocket.onDiagnostic(handler: ({required String message}) {
setState(() {
hostMessages.add(message);
});
});
uhstSocket.onMessage(handler: ({required message}) {
setState(() {
hostMessages
.add("Host received: $message");
host?.broadcastString(message: message);
});
});
uhstSocket.onOpen(handler: () {
// uhstSocket.sendString(message: 'Host sent message!');
});
});
}

Note that your requested host id may not be accepted by the signalling server,
you should always use the hostId you get after receiving a ready
event when connecting to the host.
Client #
To connect to a host from another browser use the same hostId
you received during onReady event.
Please be sure, before reconnecting to another host, to close previous connection.
var client = uhst.join("testHost");
client?.close();
client
?..onOpen(handler: () {
setState(() {
client?.sendString(message: 'Hello host!');
});
})
..onMessage(handler: ({required message}) {
setState(() {
clientMessages.add('Client received: $message');
});
})
..onException(handler: ({required dynamic exception}) {
if (exception is InvalidHostId || exception is InvalidClientOrHostId) {
setState(() {
clientMessages.add('Invalid hostId!');
});
} else {
setState(() {
clientMessages.add(exception.toString());
});
}
})
..onDiagnostic(handler: ({required String message}) {
setState(() {
clientMessages.add(message);
});
});

The UHST client interface is similar to the HTML5 WebSocket interface,
but instead of a dedicated server, one peer acts as a host for other peers to join.
Once a client and a host have connected they can exchange messages asynchronously.
Arbitrary number of clients can connect to the same host but clients
cannot send messages to each other, they can only communicate with the host.
Dispose #
Remember to call .dispose() to cancel all subscriptions and disconnect host socket from server, client from host.
In Flutter you can add such methods in dispose override.
@override
void dispose() {
client?.dispose();
host?.dispose();
super.dispose();
}

An easy way to run an HTTP server locally is to use the dhttpd package. For example:
$ pub global activate dhttpd
$ dhttpd --path doc/api
