faye-client¶ ↑

This is a wrapper for Faye::Client It handles managing the client and spinning it off to another thread, so you can easily run this in any ruby app without blocking the main thread.

To use extend your class with FayeClient. You will need to set self.messaging_server_url, and self.messaging_channels where the url is the url of your Faye Server, channels are the channels you want to subscribe to, e.g. [‘/example’]

Channels are expected to have a Handler for processing the message. We are expecting a SidekiqWorker class here by default. It will search for a class with MyClass::ChannelNameHandler where MyClass is the class that you extended for FayeClient, and ChannelName is the name of the channel, capitalied, without the begingin “/” and ‘::’ for any other slash.

So a channel called ‘/example’ should have a handler at MyClass::ExampleHandler This class is by default expected to be a Sidekiq::Worker (Check out the Sidekiq project @ github.com/mperham/sidekiq ). This class should have a method called “perform”, which you would be passing the received message to. Look at the Sidekiq docs for more details.

If MyClass::ExampleHandler is not found it will look for defaults from your class: self.default_channel_handler_class_name self.default_channel_handler_method

You can also further set this on a per channel bases where instead of passing in [‘/message’] as your list of channels, you would do something like: [{name: ‘/message’, handler_class_name: ‘MyExampleClassName’, handler_class_method: ‘my_method’}]

Keep in mind your channel handlers need to return quickly so that FayeClient can keep handling incoming messages. This is why by default this is getting done asyncronously with Sidekiq.

• Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet.

• Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it.

• Fork the project.

• Start a feature/bugfix branch.

• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.

• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
