NEventSocket is a FreeSwitch event socket client/server library for .Net 4.5.
An InboundSocket connects and authenticates to a FreeSwitch server (inbound from the point of view of FreeSwitch) and can listen for all events going on in the system and issue commands to control calls.
You can use ReactiveExtensions to filter events using LINQ queries and extension methods.
All methods are async and awaitable.
using System;
using System.Reactive.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using NEventSocket;
using NEventSocket.FreeSwitch;
using (var socket = await InboundSocket.Connect("localhost", 8021, "ClueCon"))
{
var apiResponse = await socket.SendApi("status");
Console.WriteLine(apiResponse.BodyText);
//you can make basic api and command calls without subscribing to any events,
//but this is necessary if you want to execute any Bgapi jobs, originations, dialplan applications
//as we will be waiting for an event message to notify us of completion
await socket.SubscribeEvents();
socket.Events.Where(x => x.EventName == EventName.ChannelAnswer)
.Subscribe(async x =>
{
Console.WriteLine("Channel Answer Event " + x.UUID);
//we have a channel, now we can do stuff with it
await socket.Play(x.UUID, "misc/8000/misc-freeswitch_is_state_of_the_art.wav");
});
Console.WriteLine("Press [Enter] to exit.");
Console.ReadLine();
}An OutboundListener listens on a TCP port for socket connections (outbound from the point of view of FreeSwitch) when the FreeSwitch dialplan is setup to route calls to the EventSocket.
An OutboundSocket receives events for one particular channel, the API is the same as for an InboundSocket, so you will need to pass in the channel UUID to issue commands for it.
Don't forget to use the async and full flags in your dialplan.
async means that applications will not block (e.g. a bridge will block until the channel hangs up and completes the call) and full gives the socket access to the full EventSocket api.
<action application="socket" data="127.0.0.1:8084 async full"/>using System;
using System.Reactive.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using NEventSocket;
using NEventSocket.FreeSwitch;
using (var listener = new OutboundListener(8084))
{
listener.Connections.Subscribe(
async socket => {
await socket.Connect();
//after calling .Connect(), socket.ChannelData
//is populated with all the headers and variables of the channel
var uuid = socket.ChannelData.Headers[HeaderNames.UniqueId];
Console.WriteLine("OutboundSocket connected for channel " + uuid);
socket.Events.Where(x => x.EventName == EventName.ChannelHangup && x.UUID == uuid)
.Take(1)
.Subscribe(x => {
Console.WriteLine("Hangup Detected on " + x.UUID);
socket.Exit();
});
//we need to subscribe to a few events in order to be useful
await socket.SubscribeEvents();
//if we use 'full' in our FS dialplan, we'll get events for ALL channels in FreeSwitch
//this is not desirable here - so we'll filter in for our unique id only
//cases where this is desirable is in the channel api where we want to catch other channels bridging to us
//note: fs wiki says "full" gives access to the full api - todo: investigate if really necessary
await socket.Filter(HeaderNames.UniqueId, uuid);
//tell FreeSwitch not to end the socket on hangup, we'll catch the hangup event and .Exit() ourselves
await socket.Linger();
await socket.ExecuteApplication(uuid, "answer");
await socket.Play(uuid, "misc/8000/misc-freeswitch_is_state_of_the_art.wav");
await socket.Hangup(uuid, HangupCause.NormalClearing);
});
listener.Start();
Console.WriteLine("Press [Enter] to exit.");
Console.ReadLine();
}NEventSocket makes a best effort to handle errors gracefully, there is one scenario that you do need to handle in your application code. In a realtime async application, there may be a situation where we are trying to write to a socket when FreeSwitch has already hung up and disconnected the socket. In this case, NEventSocket will throw a TaskCanceledException (Note incorrect spelling of Cancelled) which you can catch in order to do any clean up.
It's a good idea to wrap any IObservable.Subscribe(() => {}) callbacks in a try/catch block.
listener.Connections.Subscribe(
async socket => {
try {
await socket.Connect();
var uuid = socket.ChannelData.Headers[HeaderNames.UniqueId];
Console.WriteLine("OutboundSocket connected for channel " + uuid);
client.Events.Where(x => x.UUID == uuid && x.EventName == EventName.Dtmf)
.Subscribe(async e => {
try {
Console.WriteLine(e.Headers[HeaderNames.DtmfDigit]);
//speak the number to the caller
await client.Say(
uuid,
new SayOptions()
{
Text = e.Headers[HeaderNames.DtmfDigit],
Type = SayType.Number,
Method = SayMethod.Iterated
});
}
catch(TaskCanceledException ex){
//channel hungup
}
));
await await socket.SubscribeEvents();
await socket.Linger();
await socket.ExecuteApplication(uuid, "answer");
await socket.Play(uuid, "misc/8000/misc-freeswitch_is_state_of_the_art.wav");
await socket.Hangup(uuid, HangupCause.NormalClearing);
}
catch (TaskCanceledException ex){
//FreeSwitch disconnected, do any clean up here.
}
});Whilst the InboundSocket and OutboundSocket give you a close-to-the-metal experience with the EventSocket interface, the Channel API is a high level abstraction built on top of these.
A Channel object maintains its own state by subscribing to events from FreeSwitch and allows us to control calls in a more object oriented manner without having to pass channel UUIDs around as strings.
Although the InboundSocket and OutboundSocket APIs are reasonably stable, the Channel API is a work in progress with the goal of providing a pleasant, easy to use, strongly-typed API on top of the EventSocket.
There is an in-depth example in the examples/Channels folder.
