actioncable

I can use the following code in the controller but not in the console (both development environment). I'm using Rails 5.0.0.beta2. ActionCable.server.broadcast 'example_channel', message: '<p>Test</p>' The console: >> ActionCable.server.broadcast 'example_channel', message: '<p>Test</p>' [ActionCable] Broadcasting to example_channel: {:message=>"<p>Test</p>"} => [] How can I use it in the console? The default behavior for ActionCable in development mode is to use the async adapter, which operates within the same process only. For inter-process broadcasting, you will need to switch to the redis

I'm trying to create a simple chat-like application (planning poker app) with Action Cable. I'm a little bit confused by the terminology, files hierarchy and how the callbacks work. This is the action that creates user session: class SessionsController < ApplicationController def create cookies.signed[:username] = params[:session][:username] redirect_to votes_path end end A user can then post a vote that should be broadcasted to everyone: class VotesController < ApplicationController def create ActionCable.server.broadcast 'poker', vote: params[:vote][:body], username: cookies.signed[:username

Having server issues with an app in Rails 5.0.0.beta2 trying to use ActionCable. Using localhost:3000 works fine, as that is what most of ActionCable defaults to. But if I try to run the rails server on port 3001, it gives me Request origin not allowed: http://localhost:3001 The ActionCable docs mention using something like ActionCable.server.config.allowed_request_origins = ['http://localhost:3001'] which does work for me if I put it in config.ru But that seems like a really weird place to put it. I feel like it should be able to go in an initializer file, or my development.rb environment

I built a very simple app using Rails 5 beta 1 and ActionCable to show when users come online and let them send messages to each other. Now, I would basically like to take the client-side part of ActionCable, implement it in the context of another app (that does not run on Rails 5) and connect it with the first app to send and receive data (such as the online status of users or messages). To send data from that second app, I assume, I can simply make an AJAX POST request. The question is: How do I subscribe from my second app to an open connection of the first app? Or even: How do I subscribe
