Polyglot replacement for Ruby WebSocket servers with Action Cable protocol

Anycable

AnyCable allows you to use any WebSocket server (written in any language) as a replacement for your Ruby server (such as Faye, ActionCable, etc).

AnyCable uses ActionCable protocol, so you can use ActionCable JavaScript client without any monkey-patching.

NOTE: Since version 0.4.0 this repository contains only core functionality and cannot be used separately as is. Rails plug-n-play integration has been extracted to anycable-rails gem.

Requirements

• Ruby ~> 2.3
• Redis (for brodcasting, discuss other options with us!)

Configuration

Anycable uses anyway_config, thus it is also possible to set configuration variables through secrets.yml or environment vars.
