Logux Rails

Add WebSockets, live-updates and offline-first to Ruby on Rails with Logux. This gem will add Logux Back-end Protocol to Ruby on Rails and then you can use Logux Server as a proxy between WebSocket and your Rails application.

Read Creating Logux Proxy guide.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'logux_rails'

And then execute:

bundle

Usage

First of all, you have to configure Logux, by defining server address in, for example, config/initializers/logux.rb:

Logux.configuration do |config|
  config.logux_host = 'http://localhost:31338'
end

Mount logux in routes:

  mount Logux::Engine => '/'

After this, POST requests to /logux will be processed by LoguxController. You can redefine it or inherit from, if it necessary, for example, for implementing custom authorization flow.

Logux Rails will try to find Action for the specific message from Logux Server. For example, for project/rename action, you should define Action::Project class, inherited from Logux::Action base class, and implement rename method.

You can execute rake logux:actions to get the list of available action types, or rake logux:channels to get the list of available channels.
