Register a new after_subscribe hook that will be called after the #subscribed method.

Examples:

after_subscribe do
  ...
end
after_subscribe :my_method, unless: :subscription_rejected?

end

.rescue_from(*klasses, with: nil, &block) ⇒ Object

Register an exception handler.

Examples:

rescue_from StandardError, with: :report_error

private

def report_error(e)

Parameters:

  • klasses (Class, Array<Class>) —

    exception classes to watch on

  • with (Symbol) (defaults to: nil) —

    the name of a handler method. The method can take one argument, which is the raised exception. Alternatively, you can pass a block, which can also take one argument.

def broadcast(stream, data)
  Rage.cable.broadcast(stream, data)
end

#params ⇒ Hash{Symbol=>String,Array,Hash,Numeric,NilClass,TrueClass,FalseClass}

Get the params hash passed in during the subscription process.

Returns:

  • (Hash{Symbol=>String,Array,Hash,Numeric,NilClass,TrueClass,FalseClass})

# File 'lib/rage/cable/channel.rb', line 419

def params
  @__params
end

#reject ⇒ Object

Reject the subscription request. The method should only be called during the subscription process (i.e. inside the #subscribed method or before_subscribe/after_subscribe hooks).

end

#stream_for(streamable) ⇒ Object

Subscribe to a local stream. Local streams are associated with a specific channel instance and can be used to send data to the current channel only.

Examples:

Subscribe to a stream

class NotificationsChannel < Rage::Cable::Channel
  def subscribed
    stream_for current_user
  end
end

Broadcast to the stream

NotificationsChannel.broadcast_to(current_user, { message: "You have a new notification!" })

Parameters:

  • streamable (#id, String, Symbol, Numeric, Array) —

    an object that will be used to generate the stream name

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    if the streamable object does not satisfy the type requirements

# File 'lib/rage/cable/channel.rb', line 465

def stream_for(streamable)
  stream_from(self.class.__stream_name_for(streamable))
end

#stream_from(stream) ⇒ Object

Subscribe to a stream global stream. Global streams are not associated with any specific channel instance and can be used to broadcast data to multiple channels at once.

Examples:

Subscribe to a stream

class NotificationsChannel < Rage::Cable::Channel
  def subscribed
    stream_from "notifications"
  end
end

Broadcast to the stream

Rage::Cable.broadcast("notifications", { message: "A new member has joined!" })

Parameters:

  • stream (String) —

    the name of the stream

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    if the stream name is not a String

  Rage.cable.__protocol.subscribe(@__connection, stream, @__params)
end

#subscribed ⇒ Object

Called once a client has become a subscriber of the channel.

#transmit(data) ⇒ Object

Transmit data to the current client.

Examples:

def subscribed
  transmit({ message: "Hello!" })
