Getting Started

This guide will help you get started with the roda-websockets plugin.

Installation

Add the gem to your project:

$ bundle add roda-websockets

roda-websockets requires that you use Falcon as your web server in order to establish asynchronous websocket connections.

$ falcon serve --count 1

roda-websockets is a roda plugin, so you need to load it into your roda application similar to other plugins:

class App < Roda
	plugin :websockets
end

In your routing block, you can use r.websocket to pass the routing to a websocket connection.

r.websocket do |connection|
	# A simple echo server:
	while message = connection.read
		connection.write(message)
	end
end
