Hey! I'm getting pretty close to having the nav screen done for the web UI but its going to be pretty painful to scale it to different screen sizes without angular or nuxt. Are you 100% we can't just have node as a dependency and/or bundle it in the mod?
coral forge
that will be too complex for the end user (like if it fails to install).
I will take a look at it later to see what I can do about the scale since that should be an easy fix

livid shale
I'd like to clarify a bit on what I was talking about in my PR in regards to how I think the API should work and my reasoning why as I don't think I explained it very well in the PR:
When I had originally suggested the API structure that we're currently using, the intention was that there would be 3 message types: response, error, and event. Response and error were meant to be direct responses to requests sent by clients, while events were for server-sent events. The reasoning behind this was to make routing these messages to handlers in clients easier, because you could look at the type and see "this is a response to my request" or "this is an event sent from the server." With the set up that you're trying to do now, the only way to route becomes checking for the existence of an ID, which may work fine in most cases, but can cause issues for reasons I'll get into in a second.
As for using type to be the actual data type of the response, I don't feel it makes much sense to send that with every single request as the response's data type can/should be documented separately, in a static manner just like the parameters. There are some very niche cases where the type might be different between requests, but in that case, the possible returned types can all be documented. Having the type there doesn't really do very much to help with parsing in the end as all that the type does is provide an arbitrary name that may mean one thing in one method and another thing in another. If two mods both add some method that returns a speed response, but one returns the speed as a vector and the other returns the speed as an absolute magnitude, it becomes useless to try to parse based on the presence of the speed type.
On the subject of what data is passed to method handlers and returned from them, I feel it's a massive mistake to treat method handlers like web server endpoints. Giving method handlers that kind of freedom will lead to huge inconsistencies in the API and make it a nightmare to parse for consumers. By far the biggest issue that can happen is someone completely ignoring the set API structure and deciding to respond in whatever way they want (adding some random ID, not setting the ID at all, etc.). If we want the API to be in any way consistent (and thus actually usable), we need to be a little more rigid in how we handle requests. What benefit does leaving the setting of the ID to the method handler provide? It will need to be set in every single solitary method handler anyway, so why not just handle it for them? And for the type, if we were using the type as it was intended to be used when I suggested this API structure, the type would be the same for every single method handler as well. Otherwise the type can be set based on what it's marked as statically in the method's metadata.
I understand that some of these changes would be considered breaking, but there isn't even a first release of this mod as far as I'm aware, so nothing is breaking until stuff is actually released. It's in my opinion that if this mod continues on this course, it's going to be much worse off in the long run than if we make these small changes to make it much more consistent now.
A better analogy for this mod is a web framework rather than a web server. What we're providing here isn't the equivalent of node's HTTPServer, we're providing something that's much more opinionated (or at least should be). Any mod can already add their own web server, it's built into the language/engine already. What we are doing is providing a consistent and extendable set of APIs so that mods can add the ability to access data via the web API without needing to do much themselves. By trying to not be opinionated like you are, it's making it much more work to write a simple method, and making it much more likely for the methods to be inconsistent with each other. Look at how many lines of code exist in each method handler that are exactly the same.
- Dictionary<string, object> response = new Dictionary<string, object>();
- CelestialBodyCore celestialBodyCore = GameManager.Instance.Game.CelestialBodies.Get(parameters["name"]);
- response.Add("body", celestialBodyCore.data);
+ ApiResponseData response = new ApiResponseData();
+ response.ID = request.ID;
+ response.Type = "response";
+ response.Data = new Dictionary<string, object>();
+ CelestialBodyCore celestialBodyCore = GameManager.Instance.Game.CelestialBodies.Get(request.parameters["name"]);
+ response.Data.Add("body", celestialBodyCore.data);
What was 3 lines before becomes 6, double the length. Why? Why do they need to handle that? It's ridiculous, frankly. And as someone who would be consuming the web API, the thought of mods being able to mess up the most basic parts of the requests is an absolute nightmare.

ok, so I figured out a way we can do websockets, although the downside is that I haven't yet found a way to have it listening on the same port as the normal HTTP server. We can use https://github.com/sta/websocket-sharp to do the server, and I made a quick little thing to test it, but I don't know enough about C# to have it handle stuff threaded/async
it does work though
lofty frost

WebsocketSharp can also act as the HTTP server 🙂
livid shale
oh perfect
lofty frost
Anyone managed to get HTTPS working with a self-signed cert? UnityTLS rejects the certs because they're untrusted (as the server! wtf?) and ignores .NET overrides (ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback) so you'd have to add the cert to Windows' trusted certificate roots
which is very sketch
livid shale
I'd recommend just adding a reverse proxy in front of it instead of trying to get unity to handle that
lofty frost
That's the fallback plan but that's extra setup and binaries to distribute with a mod :/
livid shale
You probably wouldn't want the mod directly connected out anyway. Having a reverse proxy lets you do extra config and stuff. We wouldn't need to distribute one with the mod, just maybe add instructions or a link to a guide or something
lofty frost
That is true and I usually do prefer having nginx in between but in my case it's not so much about making the service public but about just needing HTTPS for a local network device because Chrome requires secure context for certain APIs

Hey folks, seems like an interesting project, I’m looking to start building out a TS library to let you control vessels (kRPC like) - I’ve read that you want to keep the backend pretty agnostic of the front, is this something I should be able to build off/with?
(First time delving into C# modding but senior full stack typescript dev for context)
Such a library would also serve as a great way to interact with the server from a typescript front end, for me the exciting part is being able to automate parts of the game.

coral forge
I will take a look. will start working on this again after I have the parts manager finished.
livid shale
I'd like to clarify a bit on what I was talking about in my PR in regards to how...
since I think the code makes it a little clearer here, this is what my proposed structure for API messages was always intended to be (as TypeScript types):
export interface ApiErrorMessage {
ID: number;
Type: "error";
Error: Record<string, any>;
}
export interface ApiDataMessage<T = Record<string, any>> {
ID: number;
Type: "response";
Data: T;
}
export interface ApiEventMessage<T = Record<string, any>> {
Type: "event";
Name: string;
Data: T;
}
By having all messages follow this structure, it's easy to check type === "response" or type === "error" and handle it appropriately. Then, everything inside of Data is freeform to allow mods to respond with any data structure they want. (The error message data could also be under the Data key instead of the Error key, but that's beside the point)

good rule of thumb is to reduce nesting and add comments explaining the purpose of functions
i think its said to avoid going more than like, 3 deep on nesting

when other mods add methods, I think it would be important to either encourage, or enforce method prefixes of the mod's modid, that way we wont run into any collisions where two mods try to register a method with the same name
coral forge
Something else that I might add is a system to load in api extensions through sources that are not mods.
basically if you wanted to extend the api without having to create a mod or compiled code.
Will also help testing new apis as you wont need to reload the game
infact I might move the internal apis over to it

Sorry for what may be a few dumb questions as I get my footing here:
How should I setup and check out the back end and front end? Do I install the mod and then clone the front end to begin testing them out, or should I clone the most recent backend version, etc? What's our dev environment supposed to look like, basically.
I'm playing around with the mod as is, and I'm starting to get the hang of it. I definitely like this.

why an ingame browser?
if it's for loading the web page, I feel like that kinda defeats the purpose of having the server in the first place. Why use our worse-than-in-game web UI rather than just... the game which you currently have open and focused?

why not have an in game browser. not everyone has tons of screen space

I like this idea

EVE Online had that, it was not bad to keep game-related bookmarks out of the main OS environment. I could see myself using it for specific tools like a transfer planner.

hey, just shooting a message in here because im a bit confused, im making something kind of simular (not the same ofcourse) but im for example also calling stage from a remote, from the codebase (in the api branch) i found that this codebase just does "GameManager.Instance.Game.ViewController.GetActiveSimVessel().ActivateNextStage();" but when i do that, it works only when the resulting stage does not result into multple vessels, has this worked in testing?
i solved it myself with some reflection stuff after trying to do it cleaner for a couple of hours but im interested in hearing if there is another way and doing it more cleanly
coral forge
the KWP standard api does it this way https://github.com/Bit-Studios/KerbalWebProgram/blob/12f8af402eaf5ca6e02df5636766ac6e3ccb21a0/ApiEndpointsBuiltIn.cs#L505
ornate socket
and that has been tested and works?
because that is what i tried and crashed my game, or does this require any other like setup for it to work well?
coral forge
Did something similar to that.
I use it here
ornate socket
well yeah but that would also work for me, like i said i crashed when the stage resulted in there being more active vessels, aka on a decouple. It might still work the same for you but i would like to get a distinct yes or no if that was tested and worked fine because then i can look into why it didnt work on my end
coral forge
not tried, that was pre patch as well. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
ornate socket
okay fair, thank you for the response
coral forge
sorry for not being much help.
ornate socket
well no it helps a lot because if it worked perfectly on your end i would have to look into why its so fucked on mine, and now i can kind of look at with more confidence that it might not work that way 🤷
btw in case you would be interested, im now just forcing the _stagingTriggered private variable in FlightInputHandler on true via reflection
coral forge
just so no one gets confused. this is still being worked on
