Socket.io

Hi,

How to use Socket.io in partial.js? A configuration or a index.js file?
Thanks

Hi,

read here: https://github.com/petersirka/partial.js/issues/30#issuecomment-24981419

You do not need to use socket.io, why?

- partial.js supports websocket and works perfectly

- only you must write XHR alternative for older web browsers (but it's easy)

Thanks.

Today I tried to get primus.io working with the socket.io example, but I had no luck with it. This is my module:

var primusio = require('primus.io');

framework.on('load', function() {
this.primus = new primusio(this.server, { transformer: 'websockets', parser: 'JSON' });
});

Do you know why framework.primus is undefined in my controller?
I would also like to integrate a XHR solution for your framework, because I'm really interested in it. But my problem is, I don't know how to do it properly. Maybe you could give me a little advice. =)

Hello,

Do you know why framework.primus is undefined in my controller?

Because current context is FrameworkController not Framework. You must use: framework.primus or self.framework.primus or:

framework.on('load', function() {
   // this === framework, not controller

   this.primus = new primusio(this.server, { transformer: 'websockets', parser: 'JSON' });
});

framework.eval(function() {
   Controller.prototype.primus = function() {
       return framework.primus;
   });
});

// controller.primus works now!

Thanks! :-)
