Module: Roda::RodaPlugins::Streaming

Defined in:: lib/roda/plugins/streaming.rb

Overview

The streaming plugin adds support for streaming responses from roda using the stream method:

plugin :streaming

route do |r|
  stream do |out|
    ['a', 'b', 'c'].each{|v| out << v; sleep 1}
  end
end

In order for streaming to work, any webservers used in front of the roda app must not buffer responses.

The stream method takes the following options:

:callback: A callback proc to call when the connection is closed.
:keep_open: Whether to keep the connection open after the stream block returns, default is false.
:loop: Whether to call the stream block continuously until the connection is closed.

The implementation was originally taken from Sinatra, which is also released under the MIT License:
