Example

Server

var Pulsar = require('pulsar');
var server = http.createServer().listen(8080);
var pulse = Pulsar.createServer(server);
 
channel = pulse.channel('test');
channel.on('ping', function (num) {
  channel.emit('pong', num);
});

Client

var pulse = Pulsar.createClient();
channel = pulse.channel('test');
channel.emit('ping', 2);
channel.on('pong', function(num){
  // num === 2
});

Server Usage

Create

-- Options --
resource - change to allow multiple servers on one port (default: "default")
var Pulsar = require('pulsar');
var pulse = Pulsar.createServer(httpServer, {options});

Client Usage

Create

-- Options --
host - server location (default: window.location.hostname)

Middleware

Middleware can be added to intercept or cancel inbound events. Syntax is the same on the client and server.

channel.use(function(emit, event, args...){
  if (event === 'login') {
    emit(); // Send the event on its way, emit with the same args
  } else {
    emit(1, 2, 3); // Send the event on its way, emit with new args
  }
  // Don't call emit and the event will be cancelled
});
