Anycable demo application

AnyCable Demo

Sample application demonstrating AnyCable concept.

AnyCable allows you to use any WebSocket server (written in any language) as a replacement for built-in Ruby ActionCable server.

With AnyCable you can use channels, client-side JS, broadcasting - (almost) all that you can do with ActionCable. You can even use ActionCable in development and not be afraid of compatibility issues.

Requirements

• Ruby ~> 2.3
• PostgreSQL >= 9.4
• Redis
• hivemind (optional)
• macOS (optional, compile anycable-go yourself in case you run the demo in other OS)

NOTE: MacOS Sierra has a problem with gRPC.

Usage

To launch AnyCable version:

# Run dev server
hivemind

# Run specs
make test

This runs 3 processes:

• Rails Web app
• Rails RPC server (GRPC)
• Go Websockets server

To launch plain Rails version:

# Run dev server
rails server

# Run specs
rspec
