define((require, exports, module) ->

  http       = require('lib/http-thunks')

  class SocketClient extends Consumer

          if data and typeof data.e is 'string'
            @trigger(data.e, data.d)
          else
            @onerror(new Error('Unprocessable entity: ' + JSON.stringify(data)))
        catch err
          @onerror(err)

    _join: (room, consumerId) ->
      # join a room by API server
      http.post("#{room}/subscribe", {consumerId: consumerId})()

  _.extend(SocketClient.prototype, Backbone.Events)
  return new SocketClient()
)

# ---------------------------
# connect to server
socketClient.connect(teambition.pushHost, {
  path: '/websocket'
  token: teambition.user.get('snapperToken')
})

# listen for messages
socketClient.on('xxx', (data) -> )
