Example implementation of the websocket-rails gem

WebSocket-Rails Example Application

This is an example implementation of the websocket-rails gem.

Out of Date

July 17 2012

While this example project still provides a useful look at using the very basic features of the websocket-rails gem, it is now quite out of date and a poor example of structuring JavaScript in general.

I will be updating it within the next several days to demonstrate all of the new features that have been added to the gem recently.

Event Routing

Check out app/config/initializers/events.rb for the example event routing.

Controller Implementation

Check out app/controllers/chat_controller.rb for the example websocket controller.

JavaScript Dispatcher

I will be updating this very soon.

Please ignore most of the javascript implementation in this project for now and instead refer to the Websocket Rails Wiki Guides

Installation/Usage

2. Run the bundle command inside the directory
