BuckleScript Phoenix

BuckleScript binding for Phoenix Channel/Presence to Phoenix's official JavaScript client.

This is usable now.

Feel free to create PRs.

• Connect socket
• Join channel
• Push event
• Handle event
• Presence
• Support The Elm Architecture on BuckleScript (https://github.com/OvermindDL1/bucklescript-tea)
• Fallback support for polling.

To install

npm install -save bucklescript-phx

Please update your bsconfig.json to make bsb aware of this dependency

"bs-dependencies": [
    "bucklescript-phx"
  ]

Notice:

1. Please add official Phoenix client as your dependency to make sure BuckleScript is able to require Phoenix's js.

2. Meta of Presence and payload of incoming event are decalred as Js_json.t which means you need to decode it with your prefered decoder (in TEA it is very convenient with Json.Decoder.decodeValue).

3. The bindings are based on https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped. There might be some error on mapping the types. Please help correct them if you find anything wrong. Thank you!

Here are the examples:

To join a channel:

open Phx

let handleReiceive event any =
  match event with
  | "ok" -> Js.log ("handleReiceive:" ^ event, "Joined")
  | "error" -> Js.log ("handleReiceive:" ^ event, "Failed to join channel")
  | _ -> Js.log ("handleReiceive:" ^ event, any)

let handleEvent event response =
  let _ = Js.log ("handleEvent:" ^ event, response) in
  ()


let handleSyncState response =
  let _ = Js.log ("handleSyncState", response) in
  (*let _ = Js.log (Array.iter (fun key -> Js.log (Js_dict.unsafeGet response key)) (Js_dict.keys response) ) in*)
  let _presences  =  Presence.syncState (Js.Dict.empty ()) response in
  ()

let handleSyncDiff diff =
  let _ = Js.log ("handleSyncDiff:diff", diff) in
  let presences  =  Presence.syncDiff (Js.Dict.empty ()) diff in
  let _ = Js.log ("handleSyncDiff:presences", presences) in
  ()

let _ =
  let socket = initSocket "/socket"
               |> connectSocket
               |> putOnClose (fun () -> Js.log "Socket closed") in
  let channel = socket
                |> initChannel "user:lobby" in
  let _ = channel
          |> putOn "from_server" (handleEvent "from:server")
          |> putOnSyncState handleSyncState
          |> putOnsyncDiff handleSyncDiff
          |> joinChannel
          |> putReceive "ok" (handleReiceive "ok")
          |> putReceive "error" (handleReiceive "error") in
  push "new:message" [%bs.obj { user = "Hello, Elixir! This is a greeting from BuckleScript!"} ] channel
