Opal implementation of a simple server with Express and Socket.io
Link to the implementation: https://github.com/sebyx07/opal-express-socketio
Demo https://opal-realtime-socket-express.herokuapp.com/
Run
Installation
git clone https://github.com/sebyx07/opal-express-socketio.git opal-server
cd opal-server
bundle install && yarn install # install deps
Update index.html
var socket = io.connect('https://opal-realtime-socket-express.herokuapp.com', {transports:['websocket']});
// with
var socket = io.connect('http://localhost:8000', {transports:['websocket']});
Usage
Replace
rake
it's the default rake task that starts the server
go to http://localhost:8000
Server.new(8000) do |s, io|
s # you can access express methods: with get, post, use, etc. Most is supported
# callbacks, you replace them with do; end blocks
io # you can use socket-io methods: on, emit etc. Most is supported
# socket must be wrapped using Native()
end
Example server usage
Server.new(8000) do |s, io|
# express part
s.use(Logger) # use middlewares
s.start! # start the server
s.get("/") do |_, res| # handle get to root request
res.sendFile(s.view("index.html")) # send the index html file
end
s.get("/:name") do |req, res| # handle dynamic requests
res.send(req.params.name)
end
# socket io part
io.on 'connection' do |socket| # initialize socket io connection
socket = Native(socket) # if you have problems with apply for a object, just Native() it
socket.on('chat message') do |msg| # listen for messages
io.emit('chat message', msg) # send it back, to all clients
end
socket.on('disconnect') do # handle disconnect
p "disconnect"
end
end
end
Hopefully, someone will pick this up and build a framework around it. Like with Hyperstack
