Events Push

grails-events-push

Events-push is a client-side events bus based on the superb portable push library Atmosphere and Grails platform-core plugin for events propagation/listening. It simply allows your client to listen to server-side events and push data. It uses WebSockets by default and falls back to use Comet if required (server not compliant, browser too old...). Events-push is a white-list broadcaster (client-side events scope is 'browser'). You will need to define which events can be propagated to the server by modifying the Events DSL to use 'browser' scope. To register listeners from client, you will need to define them as well. Ie:

MyEvents.groovy >

events = {
    'savedTodo' browser:true // allows browser push on this topic
}

MyService.groovy >

//will receive client events from 'saveTodo' topic
@Listener(namespace='browser') saveTodo(Map data){
  //...
  event('savedTodo', data) // will trigger registered browsers on 'savedTodo' topic
}

someView.gsp >

<r:require module="grailsEvents"/>
<r:script>
 var grailsEvents = new grails.Events("http://localhost:8080/app/");
 grailsEvents.send('saveTodo', data); //will send data to server topic 'saveTodo'
 grailsEvents.on('savedTodo', function(data){...}); //will listen for server events on 'savedTodo' topic
</r:script>

You can find a full sample application using Events-si, RabbitMQ, BackboneJS, coffeescript and CloudFoundry in Grails Todo repository.
