LoopBack Component Real-Time

A LoopBack Framework Component that provides publish events over WebSockets.

This module will supersedes the LoopBack Component PubSub and will implement multiple Real-Time functionalities like PubSub, IO and the new FireLoop Module.

Installation

$ npm install --save @mean-expert/{loopback-sdk-builder,loopback-component-realtime}

Setup Back End Module

Update the server/component-config.json as follows:

{
  "loopback-component-explorer": {
    "mountPath": "/explorer"
  },
  "@mean-expert/loopback-component-realtime": {
    "debug": true,
    "auth": true,
    "driver": {
      "name": "socket.io"
    },
    "modules": [
      "IO",
      "PubSub",
      "FireLoop",
      "WebRTCSignaler"
    ]
  }
}

Update the server/model-config.json as follows:

{
    "mixins": [
        "loopback/common/mixins",
        "loopback/server/mixins",
        "../common/mixins",
        "./mixins",
        "../node_modules/loopback-component-realtime/dist/mixins"
    ]
}

Finally update the file server/server.js by editing the app.start method as follow:

app.start = function() {
  // start the web server
  var server = app.listen(function() {
    app.emit('started', server);
    var baseUrl = app.get('url').replace(/\/$/, '');
    console.log('Web server listening at: %s', baseUrl);
    if (app.get('loopback-component-explorer')) {
      var explorerPath = app.get('loopback-component-explorer').mountPath;
      console.log('Browse your REST API at %s%s', baseUrl, explorerPath);
    }
  });
  return server;
};
