Faye and nodejs: How to run Faye server side client? - node.js

Question

I'm trying to develop a Faye server side client to run automatically as needed. In the official website of Faye, I find only document about server side client, there is no information about how to run it.
Please tell me how to do so
Thanks

Answer 1

There's a key missing piece in the documentation. It appears you need to call client.connect() in order to receive events.
Here is what worked for me:
var faye = require('faye');
var client = new faye.Client('http://localhost:8000/faye');
//This was missing from the documentation
client.connect();
var subscription = client.subscribe('/foo', function(message){
console.log("Event Received");
console.log(message);
})
//This is optional
subscription.then(function() {
console.log('Subscription is now active!');
});
var publication = client.publish('/foo', {text: "Hello World!"});
publication.then(function() {
console.log('Message received by server!');
}, function(error) {
console.log('There was a problem: ' + error.message);
});

just stumpled on this through Google. You should be able to run a client using just this code:
var faye = require('faye'),
client = new faye.Client('http://example.com/faye');
client.subscribe('/some/channel', function(message) {
// process message
});
If you still have trouble, please get on the mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/faye-users

Create a .rb file and fill with following code
require 'rubygems'
require 'faye'
cliv=Faye::RackAdapter.new(
:mount => '/cliv',
:timeout => 25
)
cliv.listen(3000)
Go to console and type
ruby your_file.rb
Once you have done. create a js with html as following :
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost:3000/faye.js"></script>
<script src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.3/jquery.min.js'></script>
<script>
$("document").ready(function(){
faye = new Faye.Client('http://localhost:3000/faye');
faye.connect();
subscribeObj = faye.subscribe("/hi", function(message) {
$("#response").append(message.text);
$("#content").val("");
});
$("#say").click(function(){
content=$("#content").val();
faye.publish("/hi", {text: content});
});
});
</script>
<div id='response'></div>
<br/>
<input type='text' id='content' />
<div style='cursor:pointer;' id='say'> Say Something </div>
And I think u r ready to go. :)
