README

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.
