WebSocket.onclose

A handler for a WebSocket connection close event. For multiple, simultaneous event handlers, use WebSocket.addEventListener().

Example

A k6 script that initiates a WebSocket connection, sends a ping, and closes it using onopen handler. The console should also log WebSocket connection closed from the onclose handler.

JavaScript
import { WebSocket } from 'k6/experimental/websockets';

export default function () {
  const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:10000');

  ws.onopen = () => {
    console.log('WebSocket connection established!');
    ws.close();
  };

  ws.onclose = () => {
    console.log('WebSocket connection closed!');
  };
}

The preceding example uses a WebSocket echo server, which you can run with the following command:

bash
$ docker run --detach --rm --name ws-echo-server -p 10000:8080 jmalloc/echo-server
