Wands

A low-level WebSocket library compatible with Ruby's TCPSocket.

Installation

bundle add wands

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

gem install wands

Usage

Server

server = Wands::WebSocketServer.open('localhost', 2345)

loop do
  socket = server.accept
  socket.puts("Hello World!")
  socket.close
end

Client

socket = Wands::WebSocket.open('localhost', 2345)
socket.puts("Hello World!")
puts socket.gets
socket.close

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
