# WebSocket Client
|
|
|
|
WebSocket clients work the same on the client side as the [server side](server.md).
|
|
|
|
## Connecting a WebSocket client
|
|
|
|
WebSockets require an [URI](../http/uri.md) to connect to and a [Worker](../async/worker.md) to run on.
|
|
|
|
!!! warning
|
|
Vapor does not retain the WebSocket. It is the responsibility of the user to keep the WebSocket active by means of strong references and pings.
|
|
|
|
```swift
|
|
let worker: Worker = ...
|
|
|
|
let futureWebSocket: Future<WebSocket> = try WebSocket.connect(to: "ws://localhost/path", worker: worker)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Using websockets
|
|
|
|
WebSockets are interacted with using [binary streams](binary-stream.md) or [text streams](text-stream.md).
|
|
|
|
All other information about websockets [is defined here.](websocket.md)
