gristlabs_grist-core/app/server/lib/Comm.ts

/**
 * The server's Comm object implements communication with the client.
 *
 * The server receives requests, to which it sends a response (or an error). The server can
 * also send asynchronous messages to the client. Available methods should be provided via
 * comm.registerMethods().
 *
 * To send async messages, you may call broadcastMessage() or sendDocMessage().
 *
 * See app/client/components/Comm.ts for other details of the communication protocol.
 *
 *
 * This module relies on the concept of a "Client" (see Client.ts). A Client corresponds to a
 * browser window, and should persist across brief disconnects. A Client has a 'clientId'
 * property, which uniquely identifies a client within the currently running server. Method
 * registered with Comm always receive a Client object as the first argument.
 *
 * NOTES:
 *
 * The communication setup involves primarily the modules app/server/lib/{Comm,Client}.ts, and
 * app/client/components/{Comm,GristWSConnection}.ts. In particular, these implement reconnect
 * logic, which is particularly confusing as done here because it combines two layers:
 *
 * - Websocket-level reconnects, where an existing browser tab may reconnect and attempt to
 *   restore state seamlessly by recovering any missed messages.
 *
 * - Application-level reconnects, where even in case of a failed websocket-level reconnect (e.g.
 *   a reloaded browser tab, or existing tab that can't recover missed messages), the tab may
 *   connect to existing state. This matters for undo/redo history (to allow a user to undo after
 *   reloading a browser tab), but the only thing this relies on is preserving the clientId.
 *
 * In other words, there is an opportunity for untangling and simplifying.
