Instance Method Details

- (Hash) authenticate(socket_id, custom_data = nil)

Generate the expected response for an authentication endpoint. See pusher.com/docs/authenticating_users for details.

Examples:

Private channels

render :json => Pusher['private-my_channel'].authenticate(params[:socket_id])

Presence channels

render :json => Pusher['private-my_channel'].authenticate(params[:socket_id], {
  :user_id => current_user.id, # => required
  :user_info => { # => optional - for example
    :name => current_user.name,
    :email => current_user.email
  }
})

Parameters:

  • socket_id (String)
  • custom_data (Hash) (defaults to: nil) —

    used for example by private channels

Returns:

  • (Hash)

def authenticate(socket_id, custom_data = nil)
  custom_data = MultiJson.encode(custom_data) if custom_data
  auth = authentication_string(socket_id, custom_data)
  r = {:auth => auth}
  r[:channel_data] = custom_data if custom_data
  r
end

- (String) authentication_string(socket_id, custom_string = nil)

Compute authentication string required as part of the authentication endpoint response. Generally the authenticate method should be used in preference to this one

Parameters:

  • socket_id (String) —

    Each Pusher socket connection receives a unique socket_id. This is sent from pusher.js to your server when channel authentication is required.

  • custom_string (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    Allows signing additional data

Returns:

  • (String)

  return "#{token.key}:#{signature}"
end

- (Hash) info(attributes = [])

Request info for a channel

Parameters:

  • info (Array) —

    Array of attributes required (as lowercase strings)

Returns:

  • (Hash) —

    Hash of requested attributes for this channel

Raises:

  • (Pusher::Error) —

    on invalid Pusher response - see the error message for more details

  • (Pusher::HTTPError) —

    on any error raised inside Net::HTTP - the original error is available in the original_error attribute

end

- (Object) trigger(event_name, data, socket_id = nil)

Note:

CAUTION! No exceptions will be raised on failure

Trigger event, catching and logging any errors.

def trigger(event_name, data, socket_id = nil)
  trigger!(event_name, data, socket_id)
rescue Pusher::Error => e
  Pusher.logger.error("#{e.message} (#{e.class})")
  Pusher.logger.debug(e.backtrace.join("\n"))
end

- (Object) trigger!(event_name, data, socket_id = nil)

Trigger event

Deprecated

This method will be removed in a future gem version. Please

switch to Pusher.trigger or Pusher::Client#trigger instead

Examples:

begin
  Pusher['my-channel'].trigger!('an_event', {:some => 'data'})
rescue Pusher::Error => e
  # Do something on error
end

Parameters:

Raises:

  • (Pusher::Error) —

    on invalid Pusher response - see the error message for more details

  • (Pusher::HTTPError) —

    on any error raised inside Net::HTTP - the original error is available in the original_error attribute

def trigger!(event_name, data, socket_id = nil)
  params = {}
  params[:socket_id] = socket_id if socket_id
  @client.trigger(name, event_name, data, params)
end

- (EM::DefaultDeferrable) trigger_async(event_name, data, socket_id = nil)

Trigger event asynchronously using EventMachine::HttpRequest

Deprecated

This method will be removed in a future gem version. Please

switch to Pusher.trigger_async or Pusher::Client#trigger_async instead

Parameters:

Returns:

  • (EM::DefaultDeferrable) —

    Attach a callback to be notified of success (with no parameters). Attach an errback to be notified of failure (with an error parameter which includes the HTTP status code returned)

Raises:

  • (LoadError) —

    unless em-http-request gem is available

  • (Pusher::Error) —

    unless the eventmachine reactor is running. You probably want to run your application inside a server such as thin
