Simple Socket IO client
Quick and kinda dirty socket.io client using web sockets
Features
This client currently supports:
- Listeners for all 9 possible message
- Send messages of the type:
- message
- json
- event
How to use:
require 'SocketIO'
client = SocketIO.connect("http://localhost") do
before_start do
on_message {|message| puts "incoming message: #{message}"}
on_event('news') { |data| puts data.first} # data is an array fo things.
end
endSync vs Async
You can start the socket io syncronously and then continue with your work. This creates threads so be careful.
require 'SocketIO'
client = SocketIO.connect("http://localhost", sync: true) do
before_start do
on_message {|message| puts message}
on_disconnect {puts "I GOT A DISCONNECT"}
end
after_start do
emit("loadLogs", "/var/www/rails_app/log/production.log")
end
end
puts "socket still running"
loop do
sleep 10
puts 'zzz'
