rack-refresher
Rack middleware for authomatic page refresh
About
Refresh the content of your page with a given interval
Installation
gem install rack-refresher
Set Up And Configuration
Add the middleware inclusion to the config.ru file (before the run Application directive):
require "rack-refresher"
use Rack::Refresher do |config|
config.ajax = true
config.delay = 1000
endConfiguration options:
-
config.ajax = true(Default:false) Refresh only the<body>tag of the page in background via AJAX. The page will be fully reloaded if this option is not set; -
config.delay = 1000(Default:5000, alias:config.interval) Refresh interval defined in milliseconds. 1000 milliseconds == 1 second;
The middleware can be included several times. For example the following code will create 2 refreshers: the first one will refresh the page every 5 seconds via AJAX and the second one will refresh the page every 5 minutes via reload:
require "rack-refresher"
use Rack::Refresher do |config|
config.ajax = true
config.delay = 5000 # Every 5 seconds
end
use Rack::Refresher do |config|
config.delay = 300_000 # Every 5 minutes
end
