This library contains the demo of commenting/posting realtime using CodeIgniter-Ratchet-Websocket with AngularJS as client-side javascript framwork.
There is no rocket science I have done to achieve this.
As you know the CodeIgniter Directory Structure
There is a folder called CI- -application -third_party -Realtime (I put here Ratchet PHP Websocket Library)
I put my code here and just call that code using Javascript websocket.
-
Download the code.
-
You got a database script with name "realtime.sql", just import that script into your database named "realtime" (You may use your name but you have to change database name in CodeIgniter's database.php also.
-
Put the downloaded code in your web root folder (www or htdocs... whatever it may be).
-
Goto application/config/constants.php
Change the constant BROADCAST_URL and set it as IP of your own computer.
- Open Command Prompt Move towards your webroot folder. We are having our websocket code at following path in our project.
application/third_party/Realtime/bin/server.phpWe have to run that server.php file from command prompt.
Just move to that folder by using "cd" command.
c:/>cd xampp/htdocs/ci-ratchet/application/third_party/Realtime/binPress enter.. Now you are in that directory specifically, just run following command.
c:/>php server.phpIf its error free and noting is populated, then its supposed that you got the success to start the websocket server.
- Now run your ci-ratchet project in browser by hitting url.
http://localhost/ci-ratchet/Once AngularJS initialize, you can see the Textbox, just start typing and press enter.... VOLLAAAAAAAAA
Its working
- Check it in another browser for realtime experience.
