163
+
164
+ ## Version 0.4.0
165
+
166
+ February 27 2013
167
+
168
+ __There have been a few breaking changes in the public API since the
169
+ last release. Please review the list below and consult the Wiki for more
170
+ information regarding the usage of the new features.__
171
+
172
+ * Controller instances no longer persist between events that are
173
+ triggered. Each event is processed by a new controller instance,
174
+ similar to a standard Rails request. Since you can no longer use
175
+ instance variables to temporarily persist data between events, there is
176
+ a new Controller Data Store that can be used for this purpose. This
177
+ change addresses issue #31.
178
+
179
+ * The original DataStore class has been deprecated. In it's place are
180
+ the new Controller Data Store and Connection Data Store. As mentioned
181
+ above, the Controller Data Store can be used to persist data between
182
+ events in much the same way that you would use instance variables. The
183
+ Connection Data Store acts like the Rails session store. Use it to store
184
+ data private to a connection. Data in the Connection Data Store can be
185
+ accessed from any controller. Check out the Wiki for more information on
186
+ both.
187
+
188
+ * The `websocket_rails.reload_controllers` event has been deprecated.
189
+ The new Controller instantiation model allows for automatic controller
190
+ class reloading while in the development environment. You no longer
191
+ need to trigger an event to pick up code changes in controllers while
192
+ connections are active.
193
+
194
+ * Real logging support has _finally_ been implemented. Check out the
195
+ configuration WIki for more information on the various logging options
196
+ available.
197
+
198
+ ## Version 0.3.0
199
+
200
+ February 6 2013
201
+
202
+ * Extend the event router DSL to accept routes similar to the routes.rb
203
+ shorthand `controller#action`. - Thanks to @nessche.
204
+
205
+ * Add a custom RSpec matcher suite for verifying event routes
206
+ and easily asserting that WebsocketRails controller actions are
207
+ triggering events correctly. - Also thanks to @nessche.
208
+
209
+ * Fix fiber yielded across threads bug when running in standalone mode
210
+ by disabling Thin threaded mode as default option.
211
+
212
+ ## Version 0.2.1
213
+
214
+ January 29 2013
215
+
216
+ * Fix default redis driver issue that was causing problems when using
217
+ redis while event machine was not running.
218
+
219
+ * Fix undefined data store value issue. Thanks to @burninggramma.
220
+
221
+ ## Version 0.2.0
222
+
223
+ November 25 2012
224
+
225
+ * Add standalone server mode to support non event machine
226
+ based web servers.
227
+
228
+ ## Version 0.1.9
229
+
230
+ November 19 2012
231
+
232
+ * Fix bug that crashed the server when receiving badly formed messages
233
+ through an open websocket. Fixes issue #27.
234
+
235
+ * Add support for communication between multiple server instances and
236
+ background jobs. Solves scaling problems discussed in issue #21.
237
+
238
+ * Fixed client_disconnected event firing twice - Thanks to
239
+ @nickdesaulniers
240
+
241
+ ## Version 0.1.8
242
+
243
+ July 18 2012
244
+
245
+ * Fix bug in Channel#trigger preventing the data from coming through
246
+ properly.
247
+
248
+ ## Version 0.1.7
249
+
250
+ July 17 2012
251
+
252
+ * Fixed botched release of 0.1.6
253
+ * Reorganized directory structure
254
+
255
+ ## Version 0.1.6
256
+
257
+ July 17 2012
258
+
259
+ * Added private channel support - Thanks to @MhdSyrwan
260
+ * Added DSL method for marking channels as private.
261
+ * Added support for attaching success and failure callbacks to triggered
262
+ events on the JavaScript client.
263
+ * Fixed JSON parsing bug in HTTP streaming client when multiple events
264
+ were received together.
265
+ * Added connection keepalive ping/pong timers to ensure clients do not
266
+ disconnect automatically. Ensures HTTP streaming works well on Heroku.
267
+ * Removed the requirement of using the thin-socketrails executable. The
268
+ executable will be removed entirely in the next release.
269
+ * Added Jasmine specs for CoffeeScript client.
270
+ * Exceptions triggered in controller actions are now serialized and
271
+ passed to the failure callback on the client that triggered the
272
+ action.
273
+ * Events triggered on the client before the connection is fully
274
+ established are now queued and sent in bulk once the connection is
275
+ ready.
276
+
277
+ ## Version 0.1.5
278
+
279
+ July 3 2012
280
+
281
+ * Fixed bug in JavaScript client that caused Channels not to dispatch
282
+ correctly.
283
+ * Rewrote JavaScript client in CoffeeScript.
284
+ * Created project Wiki
285
+
286
+ ## Version 0.1.4
287
+

19

20
+ As of version 0.2.0, non event machine based web servers such as Phusion
21
+ Passenger are supported through the use of the [Standalone Server Mode](https://github.com/websocket-rails/websocket-rails/wiki/Standalone-Server-Mode).
22
+
23
+ ## Overview
24
+
25
+ Start treating client side events as first class citizens inside your
26
+ Rails application with a built in WebSocket server. Sure, WebSockets
27
+ aren't quite universal yet. That's why we also support streaming HTTP.
28
+ Oh, and if you don't mind running a separate process, you can support
29
+ just about any browser with Flash sockets.

49
+ ## Handle Events With Class
50
+
51
+ Map events to controller actions using an Event Router.
52
+
53
+ ````ruby
54
+ WebsocketRails::EventMap.describe do
55
+ namespace :tasks do
56
+
57
+ # using a Hash to specify the target
58
+ subscribe :create, :to => TaskController, :with_method => :create
59
+
60
+ # using the same syntax as routes.rb
61
+ subscribe :update, 'task#update'
62
+
63
+ # if your controller is not a top-level object
64
+ subscribe :create_admin, :to => Admin::TaskController, :with_method => :create
65
+
66
+ subscribe :update_admin, 'admin/task#update'
67
+
68
+ end
69
+ end
70
+ ````
71
+
72
+ Trigger events using our JavaScript client.
73
+
74
+ ````javascript
75
+ var task = {
76
+ name: 'Start taking advantage of WebSockets',
77
+ completed: false
78
+ }
79
+
80
+ var dispatcher = new WebSocketRails('localhost:3000/websocket');
81
+
82
+ dispatcher.trigger('tasks.create', task);
83
+ ````
84
+
85
+ Handle events in your controller.
86
+
87
+ ````ruby
88
+ class TaskController < WebsocketRails::BaseController
89
+ def create
90
+ # The `message` method contains the data received
91
+ task = Task.new message
92
+ if task.save
93
+ send_message :create_success, task, :namespace => :tasks
94
+ else
95
+ send_message :create_fail, task, :namespace => :tasks
96
+ end
97
+ end
98
+ end
99
+ ````
100
+
101
+ Receive the response in the client.
102
+
103
+ ````javascript
104
+ dispatcher.bind('tasks.create_success', function(task) {
105
+ console.log('successfully created ' + task.name);
106
+ });
107
+ ````
108
+
109
+ Or just attach success and failure callbacks to your client events.
110
+
111
+ ````javascript
112
+ var success = function(task) { console.log("Created: " + task.name); }
113
+
114
+ var failure = function(task) {
115
+ console.log("Failed to create Product: " + product.name)
116
+ }
117
+
118
+ dispatcher.trigger('products.create', task, success, failure);
119
+ ````
120
+
121
+ Then trigger them in your controller:
122
+
123
+ ````ruby
124
+ def create
125
+ task = Task.create message
126
+ if task.save
127
+ trigger_success task
128
+ else
129
+ trigger_failure task
130
+ end
131
+ end
132
+ ````
133
+
134
+ If you're feeling truly lazy, just trigger the failure callback with an
135
+ exception.
136
+
137
+ ````ruby
138
+ def create
139
+ task = Task.create! message
140
+ trigger_success task # trigger success if the save went alright
141
+ end
142
+ ````
143
+
144
+ That controller is starting to look pretty clean.
145
+
146
+ Now in the failure callback on the client we have access to the record
147
+ and the errors.
148
+
149
+ ````javascript
150
+ var failureCallback = function(task) {
151
+ console.log( task.name );
152
+ console.log( task.errors );
153
+ console.log( "You have " + task.errors.length + " errors." );
154
+ }
155
+ ````
156
+
157
+ You can stop listening to an event now by using the unbind function.
158
+
159
+ ````javascript
160
+ dispatcher.unbind('tasks.create_success');
161
+ ````
162
+
163
+ ## Channel Support
164
+
165
+ Keep your users up to date without waiting for them to refresh the page.
166
+ Subscribe them to a channel and update it from wherever you please.
167
+
168
+ Tune in on the client side.
169
+
170
+ ````javascript
171
+ channel = dispatcher.subscribe('posts');
172
+ channel.bind('new', function(post) {
173
+ console.log('a new post about '+post.title+' arrived!');
174
+ });
175
+ ````
176
+
177
+ Broadcast to the channel from anywhere inside your Rails application. An
178
+ existing controller, a model, a background job, or a new WebsocketRails
179
+ controller.
180
+
181
+ ````ruby
182
+ latest_post = Post.latest
183
+ WebsocketRails[:posts].trigger 'new', latest_post
184
+ ````
185
+
186
+ ## Private Channel Support
187
+
188
+ Need to restrict access to a particular channel? No problem. We've got
189
+ that.
190
+
191
+ Private channels give you the ability to authorize a user's
192
+ subscription using the authorization mechanism of your choice.
193
+
194
+ Just tell WebsocketRails which channels you would like to make private by using the `private_channel` method in the Event Router.
195
+ Then handle the channel authorization by subscribing to the `websocket_rails.subscribe_private` event.
196
+
197
+ ````ruby
198
+ WebsocketRails::EventMap.describe do
199
+ private_channel :secret_posts
200
+
201
+ namespace :websocket_rails
202
+ subscribe :subscribe_private, :to => AuthorizationController, :with_method => :authorize_channels
203
+ end
204
+ ````
205
+
206
+ Or you can always mark any channel as private later on.
207
+
208
+ ````ruby
209
+ WebsocketRails[:secret_posts].make_private
210
+ ````
211
+
212
+ On the client side, you can use the `dispatcher.subscribe_private()`
213
+ method to subscribe to a private channel.
214
+
215
+ Read the [Private Channel Wiki](https://github.com/websocket-rails/websocket-rails/wiki/Using-Private-Channels) for more information on subscribing to private channels from the JavaScript client and handling the authorization in your controller.
