A sandbox for building out a high-productivity approach to standard WebSockets in Ruby.

Includes an abstract ConnectionHandler that can be adapted to multiple Ruby WebSocket implementations, or even other kinds of messaging.

Includes two implementations:

• faye-websocket running on puma
• async-websocket running on falcon

• Ruby
• Postgres, including PG command line tools

$ createdb ruby_websocket_sandbox_development
$ rake db:migrate

$ bin/falcon

or

$ bin/puma

$ npm install -g wscat
$ wscat -c localhost:3000

Note that with async/falcon the message needs to be valid JSON, so you need to wrap strings in quotes. With faye/puma the message is treated as a string, so no special handling is needed.

$ rake console

Models will be available.
