Socket.io plugin for pgrest

Getting Started

PgREST can handle socket.io connection with the --websocket flag

pgrest-websocket --db test --websocket

Socket.io

You can connect to PgREST with socket.io-client. All REST API is exposed to socket.io client as well; see test for usage.

<script src="http://HOST:PORT/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
<script>
var socket = io.connect('http://HOST:PORT');
socket.emit("GET:foo", function (result) {
  // result == REST API return value
});
</script>

More importantly, the socket.io client can subscribe to a collection. Any new item being inserted into the collection will notify the client.

var socket = io.connect('http://HOST:PORT');
s.on("CHANNEL:foo", function (data) {
  // called every time something is inserted into foo
});
s.emit("SUBSCRIBE:foo");

PgBase

PgBase is an attempt to built a firebase-compatible API on top of PgREST

var ref = new PgBase("http://127.0.0.1:3000/foo");
ref.on("child_added", function(it) {
    $("#log").append(it.info.bar);
});

ref.push({_id:3, info: { bar: "Ke"}});

check out example/pgbase/pgbase.html and client/ref.ls for some infomation.
