Server.publish

topic: string,
data: string | ArrayBuffer | SharedArrayBuffer | Blob | ArrayBufferView<ArrayBufferLike>,
compress?: boolean
): number;

Send a message to all connected ServerWebSocket clients subscribed to a topic

@param topic

The topic to publish to

@param data

The data to send

@param compress

Whether to compress the data. Defaults to true, unlike ServerWebSocket.send and ServerWebSocket.publish, which default to false. Ignored for subscribers that don't support compression.

@returns

0 if the message was dropped for any subscriber (or there were no subscribers), -1 if backpressure was applied for any subscriber, or the number of bytes sent.

server.publish("chat", "Hello World");

Referenced types

class ArrayBuffer

Represents a raw buffer of binary data, which is used to store data for the different typed arrays. ArrayBuffers cannot be read from or written to directly, but can be passed to a typed array or DataView Object to interpret the raw buffer as needed.

  • readonly [Symbol.toStringTag]: string
  • readonly byteLength: number

    Read-only. The length of the ArrayBuffer (in bytes).

  • newByteLength?: number
    ): void;

    Resizes the ArrayBuffer to the specified size (in bytes).

    MDN

    byteLength: number

    Resize an ArrayBuffer in-place.

  • begin: number,
    end?: number

    Returns a section of an ArrayBuffer.

  • newByteLength?: number

    Creates a new ArrayBuffer with the same byte content as this buffer, then detaches this buffer.

    MDN

  • newByteLength?: number

    Creates a new non-resizable ArrayBuffer with the same byte content as this buffer, then detaches this buffer.

    MDN

interface SharedArrayBuffer

class Blob

A file-like object of immutable, raw data. Blobs represent data that isn't necessarily in a JavaScript-native format. The File interface is based on Blob, inheriting blob functionality and expanding it to support files on the user's system.

MDN Reference

  • readonly size: number
  • readonly type: string

  • Returns a promise that resolves to the contents of the blob as an ArrayBuffer

  • bytes(): Promise<Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>>;

    Returns a promise that resolves to the contents of the blob as a Uint8Array (array of bytes). Equivalent to new Uint8Array(await blob.arrayBuffer())

  • formData(): Promise<FormData>;

    Read the data from the blob as a FormData object.

    This first decodes the data from UTF-8, then parses it as a multipart/form-data body or an application/x-www-form-urlencoded body.

    The blob's type property determines the format of the body.

    This is a non-standard addition to the Blob API, to make it conform more closely to the BodyMixin API.

  • options?: ConstructorOptions
    ): Image;

    Wrap this blob in a Bun.Image pipeline. Equivalent to new Bun.Image(this, options) — the constructor is synchronous (the underlying read happens lazily when an Image terminal is awaited), so this works on Bun.file(), Bun.s3(), fd-backed and in-memory blobs alike:

    await Bun.file("photo.jpg").image().resize(400).webp().write("thumb.webp");
  • json(): Promise<any>;

    Read the data from the blob as a JSON object.

    This first decodes the data from UTF-8, then parses it as JSON.

  • start?: number,
    end?: number,
    contentType?: string
    ): Blob;

    Returns a new Blob with the bytes from start up to but not including end. Negative indices count from the end.

    @param start

    byte offset to start at. Defaults to 0.

    @param end

    byte offset to stop at. Defaults to size.

    @param contentType

    the type of the new Blob.

  • Returns a readable stream of the blob's contents

  • text(): Promise<string>;

    Returns a promise that resolves to the contents of the blob as a string
