Overview

Iodine is an HTTP / WebSocket server as well as an Evented Network Tool Library. In essense, Iodine is a Ruby port for the [facil.io](facil.io) C library.

Here is a simple telnet based echo server using Iodine (see full list at Connection):

require 'iodine'
# define the protocol for our service
module EchoProtocol
  def on_open(client)
    # Set a connection timeout
    client.timeout = 10
    # Write a welcome message
    client.write "Echo server running on Iodine #{Iodine::VERSION}.\r\n"
  end
  # this is called for incoming data - note data might be fragmented.
  def on_message(client, data)
    # write the data we received
    client.write "echo: #{data}"
    # close the connection when the time comes
    client.close if data =~ /^bye[\n\r]/
  end
  # called if the connection is still open and the server is shutting down.
  def on_shutdown(client)
    # write the data we received
    client.write "Server going away\r\n"
  end
  extend self
end
# create the service instance, the block returns a connection handler.
Iodine.listen(port: "3000") { EchoProtocol }
# start the service
Iodine.threads = 1
Iodine.start

Methods for setting up and starting Iodine include Iodine.start, Iodine.threads, Iodine.threads=, Iodine.workers and Iodine.workers=.

Methods for setting startup / operational callbacks include Iodine.on_idle, Iodine.on_shutdown, Iodine.before_fork and Iodine.after_fork.

Methods for asynchronous execution include Iodine.run (same as Iodine.defer), Iodine.run_after and Iodine.run_every.

Methods for application wide pub/sub include Iodine.subscribe, Iodine.unsubscribe and Iodine.publish. Connection specific pub/sub methods are documented in the Connection class).

Methods for TCP/IP and Unix Sockets connections include Iodine.listen and Iodine.connect.

Methods for HTTP connections include Iodine.listen2http.

Note that the HTTP server supports both TCP/IP and Unix Sockets as well as SSE / WebSockets extensions.

Iodine doesn’t call Iodine.patch_rack automatically, but doing so will improve Rack’s performace.

Please read the README file for an introduction to Iodine.

Class Method Details

.after_fork ⇒ `Object`

Sets a block of code to run after a new worker process is forked (cluster mode only).

Code runs in both the parent and the child.

# File 'ext/iodine/iodine_defer.c', line 312

VALUE iodine_after_fork_add(VALUE self) {
  // clang-format on
  rb_need_block();
  VALUE block = rb_block_proc();
  IodineStore.add(block);
  fio_state_callback_add(FIO_CALL_AFTER_FORK,
                         iodine_perform_state_callback_persist, (void *)block);
  return block;
  (void)self;
}

.after_fork_in_master ⇒ `Object`

Sets a block of code to run after a new worker process is forked (cluster mode only).

Code runs in both the parent and the child.

# File 'ext/iodine/iodine_defer.c', line 346

VALUE iodine_after_fork_in_master_add(VALUE self) {
  // clang-format on
  rb_need_block();
  VALUE block = rb_block_proc();
  IodineStore.add(block);
  fio_state_callback_add(FIO_CALL_IN_MASTER,
                         iodine_perform_state_callback_persist, (void *)block);
  return block;
  (void)self;
}

.after_fork_in_worker ⇒ `Object`

Sets a block of code to run after a new worker process is forked (cluster mode only).

Code runs in both the parent and the child.

# File 'ext/iodine/iodine_defer.c', line 329

VALUE iodine_after_fork_in_worker_add(VALUE self) {
  // clang-format on
  rb_need_block();
  VALUE block = rb_block_proc();
  IodineStore.add(block);
  fio_state_callback_add(FIO_CALL_IN_CHILD,
                         iodine_perform_state_callback_persist, (void *)block);
  return block;
  (void)self;
}

.attach_fd(fd, handler) ⇒ `Object`

The attach_fd method instructs iodine to attach a socket to the server using it’s numerical file descriptor.

This is faster than attaching a Ruby IO object since it allows iodine to directly call the system’s read/write methods. However, this doesn’t support TLS/SSL connections.

This method requires two objects, a file descriptor (‘fd`) and a callback object.

See listen for details about the callback object.

Returns the callback object (handler) used.

# File 'ext/iodine/iodine_tcp.c', line 308

static VALUE iodine_tcp_attach_fd(VALUE self, VALUE fd, VALUE handler) {
  // clang-format on
  Check_Type(fd, T_FIXNUM);
  if (handler == Qnil || handler == Qfalse || handler == Qtrue) {
    rb_raise(rb_eArgError, "A callback object must be provided.");
  }
  IodineStore.add(handler);
  int other = dup(NUM2INT(fd));
  if (other == -1) {
    rb_raise(rb_eIOError, "invalid fd.");
  }
  intptr_t uuid = fio_fd2uuid(other);
  iodine_tcp_attch_uuid(uuid, handler);
  IodineStore.remove(handler);
  return handler;
  (void)self;
}

.before_fork ⇒ `Object`

Sets a block of code to run before a new worker process is forked (cluster mode only).

Code runs within the master (root) process.

# File 'ext/iodine/iodine_defer.c', line 295

VALUE iodine_before_fork_add(VALUE self) {
  // clang-format on
  rb_need_block();
  VALUE block = rb_block_proc();
  IodineStore.add(block);
  fio_state_callback_add(FIO_CALL_BEFORE_FORK,
                         iodine_perform_state_callback_persist, (void *)block);
  return block;
  (void)self;
}

.connect(args) ⇒ `Object`

The connect method instructs iodine to connect to a server using either TCP/IP or Unix sockets.

The method accepts a single Hash argument with the following optional keys:

:port: The port to listen to, deafults to 0 (using a Unix socket)
:address: The address to listen to, which could be a Unix Socket path as well as an IPv4 / IPv6 address. Deafults to 0.0.0.0 (or the IPv6 equivelant).
:handler: A connection callback object that supports the following same callbacks listen in the listen method’s documentation.
:timeout: An integer timeout for connection establishment (doen’t effect the new connection’s timeout. Should be in the rand of 0..255.

The method also accepts an optional block.

Either a block or the :handler key MUST be present.

If the connection fails, only the ‘on_close` callback will be called (with a `nil` client).

Returns the handler object used.

# File 'ext/iodine/iodine_tcp.c', line 264

static VALUE iodine_tcp_connect(VALUE self, VALUE args) {
  // clang-format on
  Check_Type(args, T_HASH);
  VALUE rb_port = rb_hash_aref(args, port_id);
  VALUE rb_address = rb_hash_aref(args, address_id);
  VALUE rb_handler = rb_hash_aref(args, handler_id);
  VALUE rb_timeout = rb_hash_aref(args, timeout_id);
  uint8_t timeout = 0;
  if (rb_handler == Qnil || rb_handler == Qfalse || rb_handler == Qtrue) {
    rb_raise(rb_eArgError, "A callback object (:handler) must be provided.");
  }
  IodineStore.add(rb_handler);
  if (rb_address != Qnil) {
    Check_Type(rb_address, T_STRING);
  }
  if (rb_port != Qnil) {
    Check_Type(rb_port, T_STRING);
  }
  if (rb_timeout != Qnil) {
    Check_Type(rb_timeout, T_FIXNUM);
    timeout = NUM2USHORT(rb_timeout);
  }
  fio_connect(.port = (rb_port == Qnil ? NULL : StringValueCStr(rb_port)),
              .address =
                  (rb_address == Qnil ? NULL : StringValueCStr(rb_address)),
              .on_connect = iodine_tcp_on_connect,
              .on_fail = iodine_tcp_on_fail, .timeout = timeout,
              .udata = (void *)rb_handler);
  return rb_handler;
  (void)self;
}

.defer ⇒ `Object`

Runs a block of code asyncronously (adds the code to the event queue).

Always returns the block of code to executed (Proc object).

Code will be executed only while Iodine is running (after start).

Code blocks that where scheduled to run before Iodine enters cluster mode will run on all child processes.

# File 'ext/iodine/iodine_defer.c', line 192

static VALUE iodine_defer_run(VALUE self) {
  rb_need_block();
  VALUE block = IodineStore.add(rb_block_proc());
  fio_defer(iodine_defer_performe_once, (void *)block, NULL);
  return block;
  (void)self;
}

.listen(args) ⇒ `Object`

The listen method instructs iodine to listen to incoming connections using either TCP/IP or Unix sockets.

The method accepts a single Hash argument with the following optional keys:

:port: The port to listen to, deafults to 0 (using a Unix socket)
:address: The address to listen to, which could be a Unix Socket path as well as an IPv4 / IPv6 address. Deafults to 0.0.0.0 (or the IPv6 equivelant).
:handler: An object that answers the ‘call` method (i.e., a Proc).

The method also accepts an optional block.

Either a block or the :handler key MUST be present.

The handler Proc (or object) should return a connection callback object that supports the following callbacks (see also Connection):

on_open(client): called after a connection was established
on_message(client, data): called when incoming data is available. Data may be fragmented.
on_drained(client): called when all the pending ‘client.write` events have been processed (see Iodine::Connection#pending).
ping(client): called whenever a timeout has occured (see Iodine::Connection#timeout=).
on_shutdown(client): called if the server is shutting down. This is called before the connection is closed.
on_close(client): called when the connection with the client was closed.

The ‘client` argument is an Connection instance that represents the connection / the client.

Here’s a telnet based chat-room example:

require 'iodine'
# define the protocol for our service
module ChatHandler
  def self.on_open(client)
    # Set a connection timeout
    client.timeout = 10
    # subscribe to the chat channel.
    client.subscribe :chat
    # Write a welcome message
    client.publish :chat, "new member entered the chat\r\n"
  end
  # this is called for incoming data - note data might be fragmented.
  def self.on_message(client, data)
    # publish the data we received
    client.publish :chat, data
    # close the connection when the time comes
    client.close if data =~ /^bye[\n\r]/
  end
  # called whenever timeout occurs.
  def self.ping(client)
    client.write "System: quite, isn't it...?\r\n"
  end
  # called if the connection is still open and the server is shutting down.
  def self.on_shutdown(client)
    # write the data we received
    client.write "Chat server going away. Try again later.\r\n"
  end
  # returns the callback object (self).
  def self.call
    self
  end
end
# we can bothe the `handler` keuword or a block, anything that answers #call.
Iodine.listen(port: "3000", handler: ChatHandler)
# start the service
Iodine.threads = 1
Iodine.start

Returns the handler object used.

  // clang-format on
  Check_Type(args, T_HASH);

             "failed to listen to requested address, unknown error.");
  }
  return rb_handler;
  (void)self;
}

.listen2http(opt) ⇒ `Object`

Listens to incoming HTTP connections and handles incoming requests using the Rack specification.

This is delegated to a lower level C HTTP and Websocket implementation, no Ruby object will be crated except the ‘env` object required by the Rack specifications.

Accepts a single Hash argument with the following properties:

(it’s possible to set default values using the DEFAULT_HTTP_ARGS Hash)

app: the Rack application that handles incoming requests. Default: ‘nil`.
port: the port to listen to. Default: 3000.
address: the address to bind to. Default: binds to all possible addresses.
log: enable response logging (Hijacked sockets aren’t logged). Default: off.
public: The root public folder for static file service. Default: none.
timeout: Timeout for inactive HTTP/1.x connections. Defaults: 40 seconds.
max_body: The maximum body size for incoming HTTP messages. Default: ~50Mib.
max_headers: The maximum total header length for incoming HTTP messages. Default: ~64Kib.
max_msg: The maximum Websocket message size allowed. Default: ~250Kib.
ping: The Websocket ‘ping` interval. Default: 40 seconds.

Either the ‘app` or the `public` properties are required. If niether exists, the function will fail. If both exist, Iodine will serve static files as well as dynamic requests.

When using the static file server, it’s possible to serve ‘gzip` versions of the static files by saving a compressed version with the `gz` extension (i.e. `styles.css.gz`).

‘gzip` will only be served to clients tat support the `gzip` transfer encoding.

Once HTTP/2 is supported (planned, but probably very far away), HTTP/2 timeouts will be dynamically managed by Iodine. The ‘timeout` option is only relevant to HTTP/1.x connections.

.on_idle ⇒ `Object`

Schedules a single occuring event for the next idle cycle.

To schedule a reoccuring event, reschedule the event at the end of it’s run.

i.e.

IDLE_PROC = Proc.new { puts "idle"; Iodine.on_idle &IDLE_PROC }
Iodine.on_idle &IDLE_PROC

# File 'ext/iodine/iodine.c', line 56

static VALUE iodine_sched_on_idle(VALUE self) {
  // clang-format on
  rb_need_block();
  VALUE block = rb_block_proc();
  IodineStore.add(block);
  fio_state_callback_add(FIO_CALL_ON_IDLE, iodine_perform_on_idle_callback,
                         (void *)block);
  return block;
  (void)self;
}

.on_shutdown ⇒ `Object`

Sets a block of code to run once a Worker process shuts down (both in single process mode and cluster mode).

# File 'ext/iodine/iodine_defer.c', line 361

VALUE iodine_on_shutdown_add(VALUE self) {
  // clang-format on
  rb_need_block();
  VALUE block = rb_block_proc();
  IodineStore.add(block);
  fio_state_callback_add(FIO_CALL_ON_FINISH,
                         iodine_perform_state_callback_persist, (void *)block);
  return block;
  (void)self;
}

.patch_rack ⇒ `Object`

Will monkey patch some Rack methods to increase their performance.

This is recommended, see Iodine::Rack::Utils for details.

# File 'lib/iodine.rb', line 65

def self.patch_rack
::Rack::Utils.class_eval do
  Iodine::Base::MonkeyPatch::RackUtils.methods(false).each do |m|
    ::Rack::Utils.define_singleton_method(m,
          Iodine::Base::MonkeyPatch::RackUtils.instance_method(m) )
    end
  end
end

.publish(*args) ⇒ `Object`

Publishes a message to a channel.

Can be used using two Strings:

publish(to, message)

The method accepts an optional ‘engine` argument:

publish(to, message, my_pubsub_engine)

Alternatively, accepts the following named arguments:

:to: The channel to publish to (required).
:message: The message to be published (required).
:engine: If provided, the engine to use for pub/sub. Otherwise the default engine is used.

.run ⇒ `Object`

Runs a block of code asyncronously (adds the code to the event queue).

Always returns the block of code to executed (Proc object).

Code will be executed only while Iodine is running (after start).

Code blocks that where scheduled to run before Iodine enters cluster mode will run on all child processes.

# File 'ext/iodine/iodine_defer.c', line 192

static VALUE iodine_defer_run(VALUE self) {
  rb_need_block();
  VALUE block = IodineStore.add(rb_block_proc());
  fio_defer(iodine_defer_performe_once, (void *)block, NULL);
  return block;
  (void)self;
}

.run_after(milliseconds) ⇒ `Object`

Runs the required block after the specified number of milliseconds have passed. Time is counted only once Iodine started running (using start).

Tasks scheduled before calling start will run once for every process.

Always returns a copy of the block object.

# File 'ext/iodine/iodine_defer.c', line 208

static VALUE iodine_defer_run_after(VALUE self, VALUE milliseconds) {
  (void)(self);
  if (milliseconds == Qnil) {

  if (block == Qnil)
    return Qfalse;
  IodineStore.add(block);
  if (fio_run_every(milli, 1, iodine_defer_run_timer, (void *)block,
                    (void (*)(void *))IodineStore.remove) == -1) {
    perror("ERROR: Iodine couldn't initialize timer");
    return Qnil;
  }
  return block;
}

.run_every(*args) ⇒ `Object`

Runs the required block after the specified number of milliseconds have passed. Time is counted only once Iodine started running (using start).

Accepts:

milliseconds: the number of milliseconds between event repetitions.
repetitions: the number of event repetitions. Defaults to 0 (never ending).
block: (required) a block is required, as otherwise there is nothing to

perform.

The event will repeat itself until the number of repetitions had been delpeted.

Always returns a copy of the block object.

# File 'ext/iodine/iodine_defer.c', line 251

static VALUE iodine_defer_run_every(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self) {
  (void)(self);
  VALUE milliseconds, repetitions, block;

    perror("ERROR: Iodine couldn't initialize timer");
    return Qnil;
  }
  return block;
}

.start ⇒ `Object`

This will block the calling (main) thread and start the Iodine reactor.

When using cluster mode (2 or more worker processes), it is important that no other threads are active.

For many reasons, ‘fork` should NOT be called while multi-threading, so cluster mode must always be initiated from the main thread in a single thread environment.

For information about why forking in multi-threaded environments should be avoided, see (for example): www.linuxprogrammingblog.com/threads-and-fork-think-twice-before-using-them

# File 'ext/iodine/iodine.c', line 227

  };
  iodine_print_startup_message(params);
  IodineCaller.leaveGVL(iodine_run_outside_GVL, &params);
  return self;
}

.stop ⇒ `Object`

This will stop the iodine server, shutting it down.

If called within a worker process (rather than the root/master process), this will cause a hot-restart for the worker.

# File 'ext/iodine/iodine.c', line 249

static VALUE iodine_stop(VALUE self) {
  fio_stop();
  return self;
}

Subscribes to a Pub/Sub stream / channel or replaces an existing subscription.

The method accepts 1-2 arguments and an optional block. These are all valid ways to call the method:

subscribe("my_stream") {|source, msg| p msg }
subscribe("my_strea*", match: :redis) {|source, msg| p msg }
subscribe(to: "my_stream")  {|source, msg| p msg }
# or use any object that answers `#call(source, msg)`
MyProc = Proc.new {|source, msg| p msg }
subscribe to: "my_stream", match: :redis, handler: MyProc

The first argument must be either a String or a Hash.

The second, optional, argument must be a Hash (if given).

The options Hash supports the following possible keys (other keys are ignored, all keys are Symbols):

:match: The channel / subject name matching type to be used. Valid value is: ‘:redis`. Future versions hope to support `:nats` and `:rabbit` patern matching as well.
:to: The channel / subject to subscribe to.
:as: (only for WebSocket connections) accepts the optional value ‘:binary`. default is `:text`. Note that binary transmissions are illegal for some connections (such as SSE) and an attempted binary subscription will fail for these connections.
:handler: Any object that answers ‘#call(source, msg)` where source is the stream / channel name.

Note: if an existing subscription with the same name exists, it will be replaced by this new subscription.

Returns the name of the subscription, which matches the name be used in unsubscribe (or nil on failure).

.threads ⇒ `Object`

Returns the number of worker threads that will be used when start is called.

Negative numbers are translated as fractions of the number of CPU cores. i.e., -2 == half the number of detected CPU cores.

Zero values promise nothing (iodine will decide what to do with them).

}

.threads=(val) ⇒ `Object`

Sets the number of worker threads that will be used when start is called.

Negative numbers are translated as fractions of the number of CPU cores. i.e., -2 == half the number of detected CPU cores.

Zero values promise nothing (iodine will decide what to do with them).

}

.unsubscribe(name) ⇒ `Object`

Unsubscribes from a Pub/Sub stream / channel.

The method accepts a single arguments, the name used for the subscription. i.e.:

subscribe("my_stream") {|source, msg| p msg }
unsubscribe("my_stream")

Returns ‘true` if the subscription was found.

Returns ‘false` if the subscription didn’t exist.
