SinatraWebsocket

Makes it easy to upgrade any request to a websocket connection.

SinatraWebsocket is a fork of Skinny merged with Rack WebSocket. It provides helpers methods to detect if a request is a WebSocket request and defer to an EM::WebSocket::Connection.

Put this in your pipe ...

require 'sinatra'
require 'sinatra-websocket'

set :server, 'thin'
set :sockets, []

get '/' do
  if !request.websocket?
    erb :index
  else
    request.websocket do |ws|
      ws.onopen do
        ws.send("Hello World!")
        settings.sockets << ws
      end
      ws.onmessage do |msg|
        EM.next_tick { settings.sockets.each{|s| s.send(msg) } }
      end
      ws.onclose do
        warn("wetbsocket closed")
        settings.sockets.delete(ws)
      end
    end
  end
end
