NAME

Plack::Middleware::SocketIO - Socket.IO middleware DEPRECATED

SYNOPSIS

builder {
enable "SocketIO", handler => sub {
my $self = shift;
$self->on_message(
sub {
my $self = shift;
my ($message) = @_;
...
}
);
$self->send_message({buffer => []});
};

DESCRIPTION

DEPRECATED. Use PocketIO instead http://github.com/vti/pocketio.

Plack::Middleware::SocketIO is a server implmentation of SocketIO in Perl.

SocketIO

More information about SocketIO you can find on the website http://socket.io/, or on the GitHub https://github.com/LearnBoost/Socket.IO.

Transports

All the transports are supported.

WebSocket
Adobe(R) Flash(R) Socket
AJAX long polling
AJAX multipart streaming
Forever Iframe
JSONP Polling

TLS/SSL

For TLS/SSL a secure proxy is needed. stunnel or App::TLSMe is recommended.

CONFIGURATIONS

resource
enable "SocketIO",
resource => 'socket.io', ...;

Specifies the path prefix under which all the requests are handled. This is done so the rest of your application won't interfere with Socket.IO specific calls.

handler
enable "SocketIO",
handler => sub {
my $socket = shift;
$socket->on_message(sub {
my $socket = shift;
});
$socket->send_message('hello');
};
class or instance, method
enable "SocketIO",
class => 'MyHandler', method => 'run';
# or
enable "SocketIO",
instance => MyHandler->new(foo => 'bar'), method => 'run';
package MyHandler;
sub new { ... } # or use Moose, Boose, Goose, Doose
sub run {
my $self = shift;
return sub {
# same code as above
}
}

Loads class using Plack::Util::load_class, creates a new object or uses a passed instance and runs run method expecting it to return an anonymous subroutine.
