It enables real-time data streaming, dashboard configuration synchronization, and remote control capabilities. + +## Overview + +WebBridge serves as a communication bridge between MATLAB/FastPlot and web clients, using NDJSON (Newline Delimited JSON) messages over TCP. This architecture allows: + +- Real-time streaming of sensor data to web applications +- Bidirectional dashboard configuration synchronization +- Remote action execution from web interfaces +- Multiple concurrent client connections + +## Basic Usage + +### Setting Up WebBridge + +```matlab +% Create a dashboard with some data +dashboard = Dashboard(); +dashboard.addSensor('temperature', randn(1000, 1), 'units', '°C'); + +% Create and start WebBridge +bridge = WebBridge(dashboard); +bridge.serve(); % Starts both TCP server and data polling +``` + +### Configuration Options + +```matlab +% Customize polling interval for configuration changes +bridge = WebBridge(dashboard, 'ConfigPollInterval', 0.5); % Poll every 500ms + +% Manual control over TCP server +bridge = WebBridge(dashboard); +bridge.startTcp(); % Start TCP server only +% ... later ... +bridge.stop(); % Stop all services +``` + +## Protocol Messages + +WebBridge uses a structured message protocol for communication: + +### Initialization Messages + +When a client connects, WebBridge sends initialization data: + +```matlab +% The bridge automatically sends: +% - Signal definitions (names, units, data types) +% - Dashboard configuration (layouts, themes, etc.) +% - Available actions list +``` + +### Data Update Messages + +As data changes, WebBridge streams updates: + +```matlab +% Manually trigger data change notifications +bridge.notifyDataChanged('temperature'); % Single signal +bridge.notifyDataChanged({'temp', 'pressure'}); % Multiple signals +``` + +### Configuration Synchronization + +Dashboard configuration changes are automatically detected and broadcast: + +```matlab +% Any changes to dashboard properties trigger config updates +dashboard.Title = 'Updated Dashboard'; +% WebBridge automatically detects and broadcasts this change +``` + +## Remote Actions + +### Registering Actions + +Register callback functions that can be invoked from web clients: + +```matlab +% Register a simple action +bridge.registerAction('reset_data', @() resetSensorData()); + +% Register an action with parameters +bridge.registerAction('set_threshold', @(params) setThreshold(params.value)); + +% Register an action that returns results +bridge.registerAction('get_stats', @() struct('mean', mean(data), 'std', std(data))); +``` + +### Action Management + +```matlab +% Check if an action exists +if bridge.hasAction('reset_data') + disp('Reset action is available'); +end + +% Actions are automatically broadcast to clients when registered +``` + +## Advanced Integration Patterns + +### Live Data Streaming + +```matlab +dashboard = Dashboard(); +sensor = dashboard.addSensor('live_data', []); +bridge = WebBridge(dashboard); +bridge.serve(); + +% Simulate live data updates +timer_obj = timer('ExecutionMode', 'fixedRate', 'Period', 0.1, ... + 'TimerFcn', @(~,~) updateLiveData()); + + function updateLiveData() + new_data = randn(10, 1); + sensor.appendData(new_data); + bridge.notifyDataChanged('live_data'); + end + +start(timer_obj); +``` + +### Multi-Dashboard Broadcasting + +```matlab +% WebBridge can handle complex dashboard configurations +dashboard = Dashboard(); +dashboard.addSensor('sensor1', data1); +dashboard.addSensor('sensor2', data2); + +% All sensors and their configurations are automatically synchronized +bridge = WebBridge(dashboard); +bridge.serve(); +``` + +### Custom Action Handlers + +```matlab +% Register actions with error handling +bridge.registerAction('process_data', @processDataHandler); + +function result = processDataHandler(params) + try + % Process the request + result = struct('success', true, 'data', processedData); + catch ME + result = struct('success', false, 'error', ME.message); + end +end +``` + +## Protocol Details + +### Message Format + +All messages use NDJSON format (one JSON object per line): + +```matlab +% Example message types sent by WebBridge: +% {"type": "init", "signals": [...], "dashboard": {...}, "actions": [...]} +% {"type": "data_changed", "signalIds": ["sensor1", "sensor2"]} +% {"type": "config_changed", "dashboard": {...}} +% {"type": "actions_changed", "actionNames": ["action1", "action2"]} +% {"type": "action_result", "requestId": "123", "name": "action1", "ok": true, "data": {...}} +``` + +### Client Integration + +Web clients should handle these message types: + +- `init`: Initial data and configuration +- `data_changed`: Signal data updates +- `config_changed`: Dashboard configuration updates +- `actions_changed`: Available actions list updates +- `action_result`: Results from action execution + +## Performance Considerations + +### Efficient Data Updates + +```matlab +% Batch multiple signal updates +bridge.notifyDataChanged({'temp', 'pressure', 'humidity'}); + +% Rather than individual notifications: +% bridge.notifyDataChanged('temp'); +% bridge.notifyDataChanged('pressure'); +% bridge.notifyDataChanged('humidity'); +``` + +### Configuration Polling + +```matlab +% Adjust polling frequency based on needs +bridge.ConfigPollInterval = 2.0; % Less frequent for stable configurations +bridge.ConfigPollInterval = 0.1; % More frequent for dynamic dashboards +``` + +## Error Handling + +### Connection Management + +```matlab +% WebBridge handles client connections automatically +% Multiple clients can connect simultaneously +% Disconnected clients are automatically cleaned up +``` + +### Action Error Reporting + +```matlab +% Action errors are automatically captured and sent to clients +bridge.registerAction('failing_action', @() error('Something went wrong')); +% Client receives: {"ok": false, "error": "Something went wrong"} +``` + +## Integration with Dashboard Engine + +WebBridge works seamlessly with the [[Dashboard Engine Guide]]: + +```matlab +% Dashboard engine changes are automatically synchronized +dashboard.Theme = 'dark'; +dashboard.Layout = 'grid'; +% WebBridge detects and broadcasts these changes +``` + +## Best Practices + +1. **Register all actions before starting the server** to ensure clients receive the complete actions list +2. **Use batch notifications** for multiple simultaneous data updates +3. **Handle action errors gracefully** with try-catch blocks +4. **Set appropriate polling intervals** based on configuration change frequency +5. **Clean up resources** by calling `stop()` when shutting down + +For more information on dashboard configuration, see the [[Dashboard|API Reference: Dashboard]] page.
