Example

Since data exchange is JSON based, it's strongly recommended to use Jackson API to deserialize data.

Connecting to websocket

private WebSocketRailsDispatcher dispatcher;

...
	try {
		dispatcher = new WebSocketRailsDispatcher(new URL("http://192.168.100.109:3000/websocket"));
		dispatcher.connect();
	} 
	catch (MalformedURLException e) {
		// TODO Auto-generated catch block
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
...

Creating and Subscribing a WebSocketRailsChannel

private static WebSocketRailsChannel webSocketRailsChannel;

...

	webSocketRailsChannel = dispatcher.subscribe("chanelName");

...

Trigering a event from WebSocketRailsChannel

private static WebSocketRailsChannel webSocketRailsChannel;

...

	Message message = new Message(); // Create a class with getter and setter as in Jackson API
	
	message.setName("Charles");
	message.setMessage("Hai");
	
	webSocketRailsChannel.trigger("new_message", message);

...

Binding a event to WebSocketRailsChannel

...

	webSocketRailsChannel.bind("new_message", new WebSocketRailsDataCallback() {

		@Override
		public void onDataAvailable(Object data) {
		// Do what you want with the data received.
		
		}
	}

...

Unsubscribing a WebSocketRailsChannel

...

	dispatcher.unSubscribe("chanelName");

...

disconnecting websocket

...
	dispatcher.disconnect();
...
