Simply adds WebSockets functionality to Django applications by proxying Django behind a Nodejs/SocketIO server.
TODO: Add a SocketIoCallbacksFinder that searchs each app in INSTALLED_APPS and adds Socket.io callback namespaces defined in app_name/socketio folders.
python manage.py runserverjs <hostname> <public port> <proxy port> <socket port>
In any Django template that you want a Socket IO connection, add this templatetag to your HEAD:
{% load nodjango %}
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.1.min.js"></script>
{% nodjango_head_scripts %}
</head>
<body>
<button>Click Me</button>
<script type="text/javascript">
nodjango.on('orm_callback', function(data){
alert(JSON.stringify(data));
});
$('button').on('click', function(){
nodjango.emit('orm', {
'callback': 'orm_callback',
'app': 'core',
'model': 'User',
'kwargs': {
'id': 1
}
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
