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:

“by require ‘socketIO’

client = SocketIO.connect(“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

end

“

Sync vs Async

You can start the socket io syncronously and then continue with your work this crates threads so be careful.

“by require ‘socketIO’

client = SocketIO.connect(“localhost”, sync: true) do before_start do on_message {|message| puts message} on_disconnect “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’ end

“
