phoenix.cr Phoenix Channels client for Crystal API Docs
Installation
Add this to your application's shard.yml
:
dependencies:
phoenix:
github: dtcristo/phoenix.cr
Usage
The example below shows basic usage; connecting to a socket, joining a channel, binding to an event and sending messages.
require "phoenix"
# Create socket and connect to it
socket = Phoenix::Socket.new("http://example.com/socket")
socket.connect
# Initiate a channel, bind to an event and join
channel = socket.channel("topic:subtopic")
channel.on "event" do |payload|
# do stuff with payload
end
channel.join
# Start a loop and send a message down the channel every second
loop do
sleep 1
channel.push("new_msg", JSON::Any.new({"text" => JSON::Any.new("Hello world!")}))
end
The Phoenix Channels docs provide details on implementing sockets and channels on the server side. The phoenix.cr docs detail the client side API available for use in your Crystal application.
