We-Inspire/WIConnect-node

WIConnect-node is one of two packages which connects Laravel with Node.js

WIConnect-node

You have to use the Node.js package in combination with the Laravel package. #Installation npm install wiconnect

#How to use Copy the index.js from the example folder to your main application and adapt it.

##Necessary steps:

1. Set the path to the npm module

   var weinspire = require("wiconnect");

2. Adapt the CONFIG-Array

   CONFIG = [];
   CONFIG.wsprefix = "/sockjs";
   CONFIG.wsport = 3000;
   CONFIG.dnode_listen_port = 5004;
   CONFIG.dnode_send_port = 5005;

3. Create a http-Server

   var httpServer = http.createServer();
   httpServer.listen(CONFIG.wsport,'0.0.0.0');

4. Start the package

   var serverinterface = weinspire(httpServer);

5. Replace and set the tables, which should accessable via publishSubscriptionns.

   serverinterface.ddpServer.publishSubscription("posts",function(){
   	var obj = {};
   	obj.table = "posts";
   	return obj;
   });

6. Connect DDP with dNode-functions

   serverinterface.dnode.on("getUserSession",serverinterface.ddpServer.setUserSession);
   serverinterface.dnode.on("getData",serverinterface.ddpServer.dataSetChanged);

#Client: You will get a client with the laravel package. You can send packages to the Node.js-Server with javascript-commands.
