Lite Cable provides Connection and Channel abstractions to design real-time features in your application:
class Connection < LiteCable::Connection::Base
def connect
# perform authentication here
end
end
class ChatChannel < LiteCable::Channel::Base
# Use this id in your client to create subscriptions
identifier :chat
endAt the client-side, you can use any Action Cable library (including the official Rails one).
Lite Cable is designed to be used with AnyCable. All you need to do is configure the connection factory for AnyCable:
AnyCable.connection_factory = ConnectionAlternatively, you can use a simple Rack-based WebSocket server implementation which comes with the library:
require "lite_cable/server"
Rack::Builder.new do
map "/cable" do
# You have to specify your app's connection class
use LiteCable::Server::Middleware, connection_class: Connection
run proc { |_| [200, {"Content-Type" => "text/plain"}, ["OK"]] }
end
end
