# Waiting queue
|
||
|
||
Visitors queue service is used for managing the visitors queue for the 8x8 video meetings by keeping visitors websocket connections opened and when a moderator opens the meeting, the visitors are notified and allowed to join the meeting.
|
||
The moderators should be able to see the visitors count.
|
||
|
||
## Authentication
|
||
|
||
The JWT token is sent at least in the CONNECT STOMP message as connect header - see sample code:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
headers = {
|
||
Authorization: 'Bearer ' + token
|
||
};
|
||
|
||
stompClient.connectHeaders = headers;
|
||
|
||
stompClient.onConnect = (frame) => {
|
||
setConnected(true);
|
||
console.log('Connected: ' + frame);
|
||
|
||
stompClient.subscribe('/secured/conference/visitor/topic.' + conference, (message) => {
|
||
showMessage(message.body);
|
||
}, headers);
|
||
};
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Visitors
|
||
|
||
This endpoint should accept only visitor's jaas tokens for a conference specified as param to the endpoint and the token to be valid for that room. The token for visitors contains:
|
||
```
|
||
context: {
|
||
user: {
|
||
role: ‘visitor'
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
It allows visitors to connect to the /visitors websocket and wait for the start message to be published on /secured/conference/visitor/topic.{conference} topic.
|
||
|
||
### Moderators
|
||
|
||
This endpoint should accept only moderator's jaas tokens for a conference specified as param to the endpoint and the token to be valid for that room. The token for moderator contains:
|
||
```
|
||
context: {
|
||
user: {
|
||
moderator: true
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
It allows moderators to connect to the /moderator websocket and wait for the status message to be published on /secured/conference/state/topic.{conference} topic (triggered every 15 seconds).
|
||

## API
|
||
|
||
| Endpoint | Type | Auth | Use |
|
||
|----------|:-------------:|------:|------:|
|
||
| WS /visitor | WebSocket/STOMP | require client token for conference | Visitors open a websocket and wait to receive a message. Message format is not very important, since we’re starting with a single message – “ready to join”. But keep it extensible. If a conference is already live when a visitor opens the ws, immediately send a notification |
|
||
| WS /state | WebSocket/STOMP | require client token for conference | Moderators use it to get the number of visitors waiting. Service sends updates for the number of visitors. To reduce traffic send updates at a minimum period and only if the count changed |
|
||
| POST /golive | REST | require a server-to-server token for conference | Our backend calls it anytime the visitorsLive state for a conference changes from “false” to “true”, including when a conference is created with visitorsLive=true |
|

> Note: CONNECT and MESSAGE STOMP frames expect an additional header for Authorization
