Pushest is bidirectional Pusher client leveraging Elixir/OTP to combine server and client-side Pusher features together in one library. Pushest communicates both via WebSockets and REST API. You can trigger on any channel, subscribe to channels, handle events using callbacks or keep track of presence.
- Event scoping
- Presence
- Unsubscribe method
- Channels list method
- Auth token generated only for private/presence channels
- Missing tests
- Handle
pusher:error - Generate documentation
- :gun.conn monitoring
- start_link/3 - opts to Pushest
- Named process option
- Propagate app version to url
- Overall error handling
- Publish to hex.pm
- Fallback to REST when triggering on a public channel
- Test recovery from :gun_down / EXIT
- expose
authfunction to generate a token for client-side libraries. - trigger batching
- Push notifications
- Subscribe to a list of channels after startup
- Full recovery after network outage, exit, etc. Buffer needed.
- Refactor :gun.conn PID handling.
- Add a support for testing of modules using Pushest
# Add necessary pusher configuration to your application config:
# simple_client/config/config.exs
config :simple_client, SimpleClient,
pusher_app_id: System.get_env("PUSHER_APP_ID"),
pusher_key: System.get_env("PUSHER_APP_KEY"),
pusher_secret: System.get_env("PUSHER_SECRET"),
pusher_cluster: System.get_env("PUSHER_CLUSTER"),
pusher_encrypted: true
# simple_client/simple_client.ex
defmodule SimpleClient do
use Pushest, otp_app: :simple_client
# Subscribe to these channels right after application startup.
def init_channels do
[
[name: "public-init-channel", user_data: %{}],
[name: "private-init-channel", user_data: %{}],
[name: "presence-init-channel", user_data: %{user_id: 123}],
]
end
# handle_event/2 is user-defined callback which is triggered whenever an event
# occurs on the channel.
def handle_event({:ok, "public-init-channel", "some-event"}, frame) do
# do something with public-init-channel frame
end
def handle_event({:ok, "public-channel", "some-event"}, frame) do
# do something with public-channel frame
end
def handle_event({:ok, "private-channel", "some-other-event"}, frame) do
# do something with private-channel frame
end
# We can also catch errors.
def handle_event({:error, msg}, frame) do
# do something with error
end
end
# Now you can start your application with Pushest as a part of your supervision tree:
# simple_client/lib/simple_client/application.ex
def start(_type, _args) do
children = [
{SimpleClient, []}
]
opts = [strategy: :one_for_one, name: Sup.Supervisor]
Supervisor.start_link(children, opts)
endYou can also provide Pusher options directly via start_link/1 (without using OTP app configuration):
config = %{
app_id: System.get_env("PUSHER_APP_ID"),
key: System.get_env("PUSHER_APP_KEY"),
secret: System.get_env("PUSHER_SECRET"),
cluster: System.get_env("PUSHER_CLUSTER"),
encrypted: true
}
{:ok, pid} = SimpleClient.start_link(config)SimpleClient.channels()
# => %{
"channels" => %{
"presence-init-channel" => %{},
"private-init-channel" => %{},
"public-init-channel" => %{}
}
# ...
SimpleClient.subscribe("public-channel")
:ok
# ...
SimpleClient.subscribe("private-channel")
:ok
# ...
SimpleClient.subscribe("presence-channel", %{user_id: "1", user_info: %{name: "Tomas"}})
:ok
# ...
SimpleClient.presence()
%Pushest.Data.Presence{
count: 2,
hash: %{"1" => %{"name" => "Tomas"}, "2" => %{"name" => "Jose"}},
ids: ["1", "2"],
me: %{user_id: "1", user_info: %{name: "Tomas"}}
}
# ...
SimpleClient.trigger("private-channel", "first-event", %{message: "Ahoj"})
:ok
# ...
SimpleClient.subscribed_channels()
["presence-channel", "private-channel", "public-channel",
"presence-init-channel", "private-init-channel", "public-init-channel"]
# ...
SimpleClient.unsubscribe("public-channel")
:okSubscribes to public or private channel
SimpleClient.subscribe("public-channel")
:okSubscribes to private or presence channel with user data as second parameter.
User data has to contain user_id key with unique identifier for current user.
Can optionally contain user_info field with map of additional informations about user.
user_data = %{user_id: 123, user_info: %{name: "Tomas", email: "[email protected]"}}
SimpleClient.subscribe("presence-channel", user_data)
:ok
# ...
SimpleClient.subscribe("private-channel", user_data)
:okTriggers on given channel and event with given data payload. Pushest sends data by default to REST API endpoint of Pusher, however when subscribed to private or presence channel it sends data to Pusher via WebSockets.
SimpleClient.trigger("public-channel", "event", %{message: "message"})
:ok
# ..
SimpleClient.trigger("private-channel", "event", %{message: "message"})
:okSame as trigger/3 but lets you force trigger over the REST API (so it never triggers via WebSockets).
SimpleClient.trigger("private-channel", "event", %{message: "message"}, force_api: true)Returns map of all the active channels which are being used in your Pusher application. Can contain informations about subscribed users.
SimpleClient.channels()
%{"channels" => %{"public-channel" => %{}, "private-channel" => %{}}}Returns list of all the subscribed channels for current instance.
SimpleClient.subscribed_channels()
["private-channel"]Returns information about all the users subscribed to a presence channel.
SimpleClient.presence()
%Pushest.Data.Presence{
count: 2,
hash: %{"1" => %{"name" => "Tomas"}, "2" => %{"name" => "Jose"}},
ids: ["1", "2"],
me: %{user_id: "2", user_info: %{name: "Jose"}}
}Unsubscribes from given channel
SimpleClient.unsubscribe("public-channel")These functions are meant to be overridden in a module using Pushest
Callback being triggered when there is a WebSocket event on a subscribed channel.
defmodule MyApp.MyModule
use Pushest, otp_app: :my_app
def handle_event({:ok, "my-channel", "my-event"}, frame) do
IO.inspect frame
end
endSubscribes to given list of channels right after application startup.
Each element has to be a keyword list in exact format of: [name: String.t(), user_data: map]
defmodule MyApp.MyModule
use Pushest, otp_app: :my_app
def init_channels do
[
[name: "public-init-channel", user_data: %{}],
[name: "private-init-channel", user_data: %{}],
[name: "presence-init-channel", user_data: %{user_id: 123}],
]
end
endframe is a Pushest.Socket.Data.Frame or Pushest.Api.Data.Frame struct with data payload as a map.
%Pushest.Data.Frame{
channel: "private-channel",
data: %{"name" => "John", "message" => "Hello"},
event: "second-event"
}The package can be installed by adding pushest to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:
def deps do
[
{:pushest, "~> 0.2.2"}
]
