Pixie

Pixie is a Faye compatible Bayeux implementation

WARNING: Pixie is under heavy development.

Pixie is inspired by Faye and was originally planned as a port, but has diverged significantly as I've learned the Erlang way of modelling these sorts of problems.

Heroku Add-on

If you're planning on running Faye on Heroku you're probably going to have a bad time. Take a look at MessageRocket as an alternative, and help support the author to maintain more great open source projects.

Installation

Add pixie to your dependencies in the mix.exs file:

def deps do
  # ...
  {:pixie, "~> 0.0.1"}
  # ...
end

Then use mix deps.get to download Pixie from hex.

Status

The server is under heavy development, at the moment it can handle the following message types:

• Handshake
• Connect
• Disconnect
• Subscribe
• Unsubscribe
• Publish

over the following transports:

• Long polling

Usage

As the server doesn't really do anything at the moment in development I'm running mix pixie.server, opening localhost:4000 in my browser and manually starting a Faye client:

client = new Faye.Client("http://localhost:4000/pixie");
client.connect();

Running the tests

Run mix espec.
