How do you test code that uses WebSocket API?

Testing code that utilizes the WebSocket API involves various strategies, including unit testing, integration testing, and using mocks or stubs to simulate server responses. This ensures that your WebSocket implementation behaves as expected under different scenarios.

        // Example of a simple WebSocket client in PHP using Ratchet
        use Ratchet\Client\Connector;
        
        $connector = new Connector($loop);

        $connector('ws://localhost:8080')->then(function($conn) {
            $conn->on('message', function($msg) use ($conn) {
                echo "Received: {$msg}\n";
                $conn->close();
            });

            $conn->send('Hello World!');
        }, function($e) {
            echo "Could not connect: {$e->getMessage()}\n";
        });
