Type aliases for `WebSocketStream` would be useful. about async-tungstenite HOT 7 CLOSED

The return type of connect_async should be WebSocketStream<AutoStream<TokioAdapter<TcpStream>>>, not sure why rustdoc doesn't show that correctly.

How is this simpler in tokio-tungstenite, should be more or less the same type apart from the TokioAdapter or not?

not sure why rustdoc doesn't show that correctly.

The problem seems to be that at least AutoStream is private to the crate. See line 93 and 103 of async_tungstenite/tokio.rs.

In tokio-tungstenite it seems to be WebSocketStream<TcpStream>.

In any case, having public type aliases for these things would be good :) Do you want to provide a PR for that?

from async-tungstenite.

To be honest, I don't even know how I would create the type aliases. When I tried before, I failed (as I wrote, I'm pretty new to Rust :)).

Ok, I'll add something :)

This is done now and part of the 0.7.0 release. I've also made things generally simpler for tokio users.

Maybe you want to give it a try again and let me know if there's something else confusing/difficult for you? Thanks!

from async-tungstenite.

Awesome! :)

At the moment I'm refactoring/extending my code and it doesn't compile. After it compiles again, I will give async-tungstenite again a try.
