Faraday Typhoeus Adapter

This is a Faraday 2 adapter for the Typhoeus parallel HTTP client. It supports parallel HTTP requests and streaming.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'faraday-typhoeus'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself with gem install faraday-typhoeus and require it in your ruby code with require 'faraday/typhoeus'

conn = Faraday.new(...) do |f|
  f.adapter :typhoeus
end

You can also include options for Typhoeus/Ethon that will be used in every request:

Note that block-style configuration for the adapter is not currently supported.

conn = Faraday.new(...) do |f|
  f.adapter :typhoeus, forbid_reuse: true, maxredirs: 1
end

The adapter supports Typhoeus's parallel request functionality:

conn = Faraday.new(...) do |f|
  f.request  :url_encoded
  f.response :logger
  f.adapter  :typhoeus
end

responses = []

conn.in_parallel do
  # responses[0].body will be null here since the requests have not been 
  # completed
  responses = [
    conn.get('/first'), 
    conn.get('/second'),
  ]
end

# after it has been completed the response information is fully available in
# response[0].status, etc
responses[0].body
responses[1].body

The adapter supports streamed responses via the on_data option:

conn = Faraday.new(...) do |f|
  f.adapter :typhoeus
end

# Streaming

chunks = []

conn.get('/stream') do |req|
  req.options.on_data proc do |chunk, received_bytes|
    chunks << chunk
  end
end

body = chunks.join

# Server-Sent Event Polling

body = nil

begin
  conn.get('/events') do |req|
    req.options.timeout = 30

    req.options.on_data = proc do |chunk|
      # stop listening once we get some data (YMMV)
      if chunk.start_with?('data: ')
        body = chunk
        :abort # abort the request, we're done
      end
    end
  end
rescue Faraday::ConnectionFailed => ex
  raise ex unless body
end

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bin/test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

• Better tests for parallel functionality (can port them over from Typhoeus)
• Support block-based configuration like other adapters
• Refactor the adapter a bit to look more like other Faraday 2 adapters (use connection etc.)
• Compression support
• Reason-phrase parsing support
