Overview

The Connection class represents the connection associated with an Ably Realtime instance. The Connection object exposes the lifecycle and parameters of the realtime connection.

Connections will always be in one of the following states:

initialized:  0
connecting:   1
connected:    2
disconnected: 3
suspended:    4
closing:      5
closed:       6
failed:       7

Note that the states are available as Enum-like constants:

Connection::STATE.Initialized
Connection::STATE.Connecting
Connection::STATE.Connected
Connection::STATE.Disconnected
Connection::STATE.Suspended
Connection::STATE.Closing
Connection::STATE.Closed
Connection::STATE.Failed

Connection emit errors - use ‘on(:error)` to subscribe to errors

Examples:

client = Ably::Realtime::Client.new('key.id:secret')
client.connection.on(:connected) do
  puts "Connected with connection ID: #{client.connection.id}"
end

Defined Under Namespace

Classes: ConnectionManager, ConnectionStateMachine, WebsocketTransport

#ping {|Integer| ... } ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Sends a ping to Ably and yields the provided block when a heartbeat ping request is echoed from the server. This can be useful for measuring true roundtrip client to Ably server latency for a simple message, or checking that an underlying transport is responding currently. The elapsed milliseconds is passed as an argument to the block and represents the time taken to echo a ping heartbeat once the connection is in the :connected state.

Examples:

client = Ably::Rest::Client.new(key: 'key.id:secret')
client.connection.ping do |ms_elapsed|
  puts "Ping took #{ms_elapsed}ms"
end

Yields:

  • (Integer) —

    if a block is passed to this method, then this block will be called once the ping heartbeat is received with the time elapsed in milliseconds

Raises:

  • (RuntimeError)
