js-grip

A GRIP interface library for JavaScript. For use with HTTP reverse proxy servers that support the GRIP interface, such as Pushpin.

Supported GRIP servers include:

• Pushpin
• Fastly Fanout

Authors: Katsuyuki Omuro [email protected], Konstantin Bokarius [email protected]

New for v4

Breaking changes

• Simplified build, now exported as ESM modules only. If you require CommonJS support or a browser build, use v3.
• A number of classes and interfaces have been removed for simplification. Particularly, base classes designed for overriding have been removed in favor of configuration.
• A number of classes whose fields had previously been public now hold them privately; those values must now be accessed through accessor functions.
• The isWsOverHttp() and getWebSocketContextFromReq() functions now work with Request objects rather than Node.js's IncomingMessage objects.
  • Versions of these functions that work with IncomingMessage are available as isNodeReqWsOverHttp and getWebSocketContextFromNodeReq. These are exported from @fanoutio/grip/node, and are also exported from @fanoutio/grip when the condition "node" is present when resolving imports.

For detailed breaking changes, see the detailed list.

Other changes

• Updated to be Fetch API-first, allowing for running natively under more platforms such as Fastly Compute, Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, etc. without the need for polyfilling Node.js builtins.
• Separated out Node.js support into its own export, "@fanoutio/grip/node".
• GRIP_URL now allows key and verify-key query parameters to be provided as:
  • JSON stringified representation of JsonWebKey
  • base64-encoded representations (prefixed with base64:) of Uint8Array, JSON-stringified JsonWebKey, or PEM file (SPKI or PKCS#8).
  • Also see More on Keys.
• parseGripUri now accepts a second parameter which can be used to merge parameters into a IGripConfig.
• validateGripSig is now available on Publisher, allowing you to easily check a Grip-Sig header against the publisher clients registered with a Publisher.
• Publisher can now be configured with a custom channel prefix that will be applied when publishing messages.
• Publisher can now be configured with an override fetch() function that will be called when publishing messages.
• Public Keys for Fastly Fanout are now exported as constants.

Code examples

If you're familiar with the concepts of GRIP, then it may be beneficial to go browse the Examples at this point, and then come back to this document for reference.

Using js-grip

Generic Realtime Intermediary Protocol, otherwise known as GRIP, is a mechanism that allows your origin application to use a GRIP-compatible HTTP proxy server to hold incoming connections open.

GRIP is composed of two parts:

• Validating incoming requests and subscribing them to channels
• Publishing messages to channels

This library includes the Publisher class, which helps you with these tasks. To configure the Publisher class, you'll use a GRIP configuration object.

The GRIP configuration object

The GRIP configuration object (IGripConfig interface in TypeScript) represents the configuration for a single GRIP proxy and its publishing endpoint. It has the following fields:

• control_uri - string Used for publishing. The Control URI of the GRIP proxy.
• user - string Used for authorization during publishing.
  • If the GRIP publishing endpoint allows Basic Authorization (not recommended), then the publisher uses this value as the username.
• pass - string Used for authorization during publishing.
  • If the GRIP publishing endpoint allows Basic Authorization (not recommended), then the publisher uses this value as the password.
• control_iss - string Used for authorization during publishing.
  • If the GRIP publishing endpoint allows JSON Web Tokens for authorization, the publisher sets the iss claim of the JWT to this value.
• key - string or Uint8Array or CryptoKey or KeyObject Used for authorization during publishing.
  • If control_iss is also provided, if the GRIP publishing endpoint allows JSON Web Tokens for authorization, the publisher signs the JWT using this key.
  • If this is provided as a string, and control_iss is not provided, then if the GRIP publishing endpoint allows Bearer Tokens for authorization, the publisher uses this value as the Bearer token.
• verify_key - Uint8Array or CryptoKey or KeyObject Used for validating an incoming request.
  • If this value is set, then the Grip-Sig header is verified as a JWT using this key.
• verify_iss - string Used for validating an incoming request.
  • If verify_key and this value are set, the Grip-Sig header is only considered to successfully verify if its iss claim of the JWT matches this value.

control_uri is the only required field. The other fields may be required depending on your setup.

key and verify_key may also be provided as string or Uint8Array that encodes keys in PEM or JWK formats. See More on Keys.

NOTE: If your origin application is running on Fastly Compute, Fastly Compute does not support PEM-formatted keys.

NOTE: For backwards-compatibility reasons, if JWT authorization is used with a symmetric secret (control_iss and key are both provided, and key is not a private key) and verify_key is not provided, then key will also be used as the verify_key value.

Fastly Fanout as a GRIP proxy

If you're using Fastly Fanout, then control_uri, key, verify_iss, and verify_key are required and should be set to the following values:

• control_uri - The string value https://api.fastly.com/service/<service-id>, where <service-id> is your Fastly service ID, with Fanout enabled.
• key - A Fastly API token that has global scope access to your service, as a string value.
• verify_iss - The string value fastly:<service-id>, where <service-id> is your Fastly service ID.
• verify_key - The following object, which is also available from this library as the exported constant PUBLIC_KEY_FASTLY_FANOUT_JWK.

  {
    "kty":"EC",
    "crv":"P-256",
    "x":"CKo5A1ebyFcnmVV8SE5On-8G81JyBjSvcrx4VLetWCg",
    "y":"7gwJqaU6N8TP88--twjkwoB36f-pT3QsmI46nPhjO7M"
  }

import { PUBLIC_KEY_FASTLY_FANOUT_JWK } from '@fanoutio/grip/fastly-fanout';

// Replace '<SERVICE_ID>' and '<FASTLY_API_TOKEN>' with appropriate values
const gripConfig = {
  control_uri: 'https://api.fastly.com/service/<SERVICE_ID>',
  key: '<FASTLY_API_TOKEN>',
  verify_iss: 'fastly:<SERVICE_ID>',
  verify_key: PUBLIC_KEY_FASTLY_FANOUT_JWK,
};

const publisher = new Publisher(gripConfig);

As a convenience, you can use the buildFanoutGripConfig() function exported from @fanoutio/grip/fastly-compute to build the GRIP configuration object for Fastly Fanout.

import { buildFanoutGripConfig } from '@fanoutio/grip/fastly-compute';
import { Publisher } from '@fanoutio/grip';

const gripConfig = buildFanoutGripConfig({
  serviceId: '<service-id>',         // Service of GRIP proxy
  apiToken: '<fastly-api-token>',    // API token that has 'global' scope on above service
});

const publisher = new Publisher(gripConfig);

TIP: It's also possible to configure Fastly Fanout using GRIP_URL. See GRIP_URL for details.

TIP: API tokens should be handled with care.

The GRIP_URL

The fields in a GRIP configuration object can be combined into a single compact URL. The URL is built as the control_uri with the other values added as query parameters.

This value is often stored in an environment variable or configuration store with the name GRIP_URL. As it is a URL, it is easy to move the configuration between environments.

The verify_key is sometimes large, especially when public keys are used. In this case, it is stored separately as a GRIP_VERIFY_KEY, and the values are merged at runtime:

const gripURL = process.env.GRIP_URL || 'http://127.0.0.1:5561/';
const gripVerifyKey = process.env.GRIP_VERIFY_KEY;
const gripConfig = parseGripUri(gripURL, { 'verify-key': gripVerifyKey });

TIP: Because GRIP_URL can contain secrets (API token or private/shared key for signing), it should be handled with care.

TIP: GRIP_URL and GRIP_VERIFY_KEY can be used with Fastly Fanout as well. This can simplify your code by allowing it to be configured through a single code path.

To do so, use these values (replace <SERVICE_ID> and <FASTLY_API_TOKEN> with appropriate values):

GRIP_URL='https://api.fastly.com/service/<SERVICE_ID>?key=<FASTLY_API_TOKEN>&verify-iss=fastly:<SERVICE_ID>'
GRIP_VERIFY_KEY='{"kty":"EC","crv":"P-256","x":"CKo5A1ebyFcnmVV8SE5On-8G81JyBjSvcrx4VLetWCg","y":"7gwJqaU6N8TP88--twjkwoB36f-pT3QsmI46nPhjO7M"}'

Instantiate the Publisher object

Instantiate the Publisher object by passing the GRIP configuration object to its constructor.

import { Publisher } from '@fanoutio/grip';

const publisher = new Publisher({
  control_uri: 'http://pushpin.myproject.com/', // Control URI of your Pushpin instance
});

// or

const gripURL = process.env.GRIP_URL || 'http://127.0.0.1:5561/';
const gripVerifyKey = process.env.GRIP_VERIFY_KEY;
const gripConfig = parseGripUri(gripURL, { 'verify-key': gripVerifyKey });
const publisher = new Publisher(gripConfig); // You can pass a gripConfig if you've already parsed it

// or

const publisher = new Publisher(process.env.GRIP_URL); // You can even pass a GRIP_URL directly

NOTE: If your origin application is running on Fastly Compute, then you'll need to further configure the Publisher. See Overriding fetch below.

Validating Incoming Requests

When an incoming client request arrives at the GRIP proxy over HTTP, the proxy forwards the request to your origin application and adds the Grip-Sig header to the proxied request.

It's highly recommended that your origin application validate this Grip-Sig to make sure it's coming from your GRIP proxy. To do this, call publisher.validateGripSig():

// publisher instantiated above
const gripSig = req.headers.get('Grip-Sig');
const { isProxied, isSigned } = await publisher.validateGripSig(gripSig);

If your publisher requires validation (i.e., is configured with a verify_key), then the signature of Grip-Sig will be checked with that key. If the key was able to successfully able to verify the signature (including checking for expiry), then both isSigned and isProxied will be true. Otherwise, they will both be false.

If your publisher does not require validation, then the signature is not checked. isSigned will be false, and isProxied will be true if Grip-Sig is present, and false if it is not present.

NOTE: For backwards-compatibility reasons, if JWT authorization is used with a symmetric secret (control_iss and key are both provided, and key is not a private key) and verify_key is not provided, then key will be used as the verify_key value as well.

Subscribing

Once you've verified that your request is proxied behind GRIP, your origin application can, as part of its execution, decide to have the GRIP proxy hold the connection and subscribe it to channels.

With an HTTP transport such as long-polling and streaming, your origin application includes HTTP headers known as GRIP instructions along with the response. These instructions indicate the action that the GRIP proxy is to take, and is abstracted as a GripInstruct object.

To set GRIP instructions, instantiate GripInstruct and call its functions. When it comes time to return the response, include the GRIP instructions with the response by calling toHeaders() on them and including them with the response headers.

HTTP long-polling subscription

const gripInstruct = new GripInstruct();
gripInstruct.addChannel('<channel>');
gripInstruct.setHoldLongPoll();
// To optionally set a timeout value in seconds:
// gripInstruct.setHoldLongPoll(<timeout_value>);

return new Response(
    'Body',
    {
        status: 200,
        headers: {
            ...gripInstruct.toHeaders(),
            'Content-Type': 'text/plain',
        }
    }
);

TIP: If the response status code is 304, some platforms will refuse to send custom HTTP response headers. To work around this issue, you can call gripInstruct.setStatus().

const gripInstruct = new GripInstruct();
gripInstruct.addChannel('<channel>');
gripInstruct.setHoldLongPoll();

// Set 304 here
gripInstruct.setStatus(304);

// Send 200 to your platform
return new Response(
    'Body',
    {
        status: 200,
        headers: {
            ...gripInstruct.toHeaders(),
            'Content-Type': 'text/plain',
        }         
    }
);

HTTP streaming subscription

const gripInstruct = new GripInstruct();
gripInstruct.addChannel('<channel>');
gripInstruct.setHoldStream();

return new Response(
    'Body',
    {
        status: 200,
        headers: {
            ...gripInstruct.toHeaders(),
            'Content-Type': 'text/plain',
        }
    }
);

WebSocket-over-HTTP subscription

To subscribe WebSocket-over-HTTP requests to a channel, use a WebSocketContext object. See the WebSocket-over-HTTP section below for details.

Publishing messages to channels

To publish a message, call one of the publishing methods on the publisher, which depends on the type of GRIP interaction.

HTTP long-polling publishing

To publish an HTTP long-polling response message:

// publisher instantiated above
await publisher.publishHttpResponse('<channel>', 'Test Publish!');

HTTP streaming publishing

To publish an HTTP streaming message:

// publisher instantiated above
await publisher.publishHttpStream('<channel>', 'Test Publish!');

WebSocket-over-HTTP publishing

To publish a WebSocket-over-HTTP message:

// publisher instantiated above
await publisher.publishFormats('<channel>', new WebSocketMessageFormat('Test Publish!'));

See the WebSocket-over-HTTP section below for details.

Customizing Publisher

The Publisher class constructor accepts an optional second parameter that is used to customize its behavior.

Prefixes

For namespacing reasons, it's sometimes useful to prefix the channel name when publishing. To do this, set the prefix property in the configuration parameter when instantiating the Publisher.

const publisher = new Publisher(process.env.GRIP_URL, { prefix: 'foo_' });
await publisher.publishHttpStream('test', 'Test Publish!'); // Message is sent to channel named 'foo_test'

Overriding fetch

By default, publishing messages through the Publisher class uses the global fetch() function as the underlying mechanism.

Sometimes you may wish to override this behavior. To do this, set the fetch property in the configuration parameter to a custom function when instantiating the Publisher. Once you do this, publishing messages through the Publisher instance will call your custom function, passing it the same parameters as it would when calling fetch(). You are then free to modify these values and then call the global fetch(), or even provide the entire implementation yourself.

TIP: If your origin application is running on Fastly Compute, you'll need to do this to specify the backend parameter when performing a fetch(). See the section below.

Publishing messages from a Fastly Compute origin application

If your origin application is running on Fastly Compute, a backend parameter is usually required when making a fetch() call. (You won't need to do this if you are using the Dynamic Backends feature.)

One way to accomplish this is by providing an override function for fetch that inserts a backend parameter.

In the following example, the backend property of the second parameter is set to 'publisher' before calling the global fetch():

const publisher = new Publisher(gripConfig, {
    fetch(input, init) {
        return fetch(input, { ...init, backend: 'publisher' });
    },
});

Advanced: Publisher with multiple GRIP proxies

It's also possible to instantiate a Publisher with more than one GRIP proxy. To do this, simply pass an array of GRIP configurations to the constructor.

When you do this, validating incoming requests works slightly differently:

If all the GRIP configurations require validation (i.e., are configured with verify_key), then the signature of Grip-Sig will be checked. If at least one GRIP configuration's key was able to successfully able to verify the signature (including checking for expiry), then both isSigned and isProxied will be true. Otherwise, they will both be false.

If at least one GRIP configuration does not require validation, then the signature is not checked. isSigned will be false, and isProxied will be true if Grip-Sig is present, and false if it is not present.

When publishing messages, each GRIP configuration is published to in parallel. The promise returned from the publish() call (or one of its variants) resolves when publishing to all configurations completes, or rejects when publishing to any of the configurations fails.

WebSocket-over-HTTP

WebSocket-Over-HTTP is a feature of Pushpin and Fastly Fanout that is a simple, text-based protocol for acting as a gateway between a WebSocket client (often a web browser) and a conventional HTTP server.

Events from the WebSocket client, including opening, closing, and sending of messages, are transformed by the GRIP proxy into HTTP POST requests and arrive at the origin application.

The origin application can use the isWsOverHttp() function and pass in a Request to detect whether the request is using the WebSocket-over-HTTP protocol. If it is, the origin application can call the getWebSocketContextFromReq() function to consume the Request's body and obtain an instance of the WebSocketContext class.

let wsContext = null;
if (gripStatus.isProxied && isWsOverHttp(request)) {
    wsContext = await getWebSocketContextFromReq(request);
}

This object contains a queue of the current batch of incoming WebSocket messages, as well as a queue of outgoing WebSocket messages.

At this point the typical WebSocket-over-HTTP application:

• handles an OPEN message
• handles a CLOSE message
• handles any other messages

OPEN messages can be checked by calling isOpening() on the WebSocket context. If so, the usual course of action is to call accept() as well as subscribe() on the WebSocket context. Keep in mind that these actions are simply queued up as outgoing WebSocket messages at this stage.

if (wsContext.isOpening()) {
    wsContext.accept();
    wsContext.subscribe('test');
}

For other messages, iterate the queue of incoming messages on the WebSocket context by checking canRecv() and recv() (or recvRaw(), if the message may include binary data).

while (wsContext.canRecv()) {
    const message = wsContext.recv();
    
    // handle message ...
}

recv() returns null if the message was CLOSE. In this case, send a CLOSE back to close the WebSocket cleanly.

    if (message == null) {
        wsContext.close();
        break;
    }

Otherwise, recv() returns the string content of the WebSocket message (if recvRaw() is used, then BINARY messages will return a Uint8Array of the bytes). It's now up to your application to perform any application logic and handle this message.

Usually, to send messages back to the caller, call one of these functions. Again, keep in mind that these messages are just queued at this point.

• send()
• sendBinary()
• sendControl()

For example, if you are writing an echo server, you may do something like this:

    wsContext.send(message);

Finally, the outgoing messages in the WebSocket context need to be sent as the HTTP response. To do this, serialize the outgoing messages and send it, along with any headers that the WebSocket context would represent, in the HTTP response.

const events = wsContext.getOutgoingEvents();
const responseBody = encodeWebSocketEvents(events);

return new Response(
    responseBody,
    {
        status: 200,
        headers: wsContext.toHeaders(),
    },
);

More on Keys

The following apply to the key and verify_key fields of the GRIP configuration object.

If present, key must be a private key or symmetric secret, and verify_key must be a public key or symmetric secret.

Binary values for key and verify_key may be provided as Uint8Array, but they may also be provided as base64-encoded strings. To do so, prefix the values with base64:, and the values will be converted to Uint8Array as they are read.

They may also be provided as CryptoKey or KeyObject, which are runtime-specific key representations (CryptoKey in the browser and Web-interoperable runtimes, as well as KeyObject in Node.js). Refer to your platform's documentation to import keys of these types.

They may also be provided as JsonWebKey objects (or JSON-stringified representations of JsonWebKey objects, or Uint8Array encodings of JSON-stringified representations of JsonWebKey objects). In these cases, they will be converted to CryptoKey or KeyObject as they are read.

Finally, they may also be provided as PEM-encoded strings (or Uint8Array encodings of PEM-encoded strings): key as a PEM-encoded PKCS#8 private key, and verify_key as a PEM-encoded SPKI public key. In these cases, they will be converted to CryptoKey or KeyObject as they are read.

NOTE: If your origin application is running on Fastly Compute, note that Fastly Compute does not support PEM-formatted keys.

NOTE: For backwards-compatibility reasons, if JWT authorization is used with a symmetric secret (control_iss and key are both provided, and key is not a private key) and verify_key is not provided, then key will also be used as the verify_key value.

Detailed Breaking Changes

• HttpResponseFormat now specifically works with string and Uint8Array. Previously the body could be anything that supported a .toString() function.
• IWebSocketEvent now requires the content field and getContent accessor to be string or Uint8Array. Previously, this could also be number[], but this is no longer supported.
• WebSocketContext now requires the meta parameter of its constructor to be an object whose values are string. Previously, this could be any JavaScript object.
• WebSocketEvent now requires the content parameter of its constructor to be string or Uint8Array. Previously, this could also be number[], but this is no longer supported.
• createWebSocketControlMessage now requires the args parameter to be an object whose values are string. Previously, this could be any JavaScript object.
• GripInstruct now requires the meta field, if it's used, to be an object whose values are string. Previously, this could be any JavaScript object.
• IFormat now requires the export() function to return an object whose values are JSON-serializable. Previously, values could be of any type.
• IItemExport now requires the formats field to be an object whose values are JSON-serializable. Previously, values could be of any type.
