FayeClient - iOS & Mac OS X

This project is an updated version of the Library made by pcrawfor there: https://github.com/pcrawfor/FayeObjC

Why?

For one of my project, I needed an objective-C faye client. The best I've been able to find is the one created by pcrawfor which is not maintained anymore. I decided to copy the project and update the web socket library in order to user Socket Rockect, maintainted by Square, JSONKit, and make the library using ARC by default.

Installation

---

1. Setup Cocoapods for your project http://cocoapods.org/
2. Download the last version of FayeClient
3. The downloaded folder contains an Example folder which is an example of use of the FayeClient, and the Library folder with the sources of the library. Copy the Library folder on your project.
4. Compile your project, your should be ready to go!

Usage

---

Connection and messages

• Install the library
• Import the library in the file where you need it:

#import #import "FayeClient.h"

• Create a property for the FayeClient object

@property (nonatomic, strong) FayeClient *client;

• Initialize the client with the URL of the server and the channel you want to be subscribed to:

_client = [[FayeClient alloc] initWithURLString:@"ws://localhost:9292/hub" channel:@"/room1"];

• Open the connection with the server:

[_client connectToServer]

• Send a message:

[_client sendMessage:@{@"jayztemplier" : @"Hello World!"}];

Delegate

You can also add a delegate to the Faye Client in order to have some feebacks about what happened:

  @protocol SRWebSocketDelegate <NSObject>

  - (void)webSocket:(SRWebSocket *)webSocket didReceiveMessage:(id)message;

  @optional

  - (void)webSocketDidOpen:(SRWebSocket *)webSocket;
  - (void)webSocket:(SRWebSocket *)webSocket didFailWithError:(NSError *)error;
  - (void)webSocket:(SRWebSocket *)webSocket didCloseWithCode:(NSInteger)code reason:(NSString *)reason wasClean:(BOOL)wasClean;

  @end

Faye Server

If you can to run a Faye server to test the client, you can find all the information you need there: http://faye.jcoglan.com/ You can also run the server.rb file under the Server directory:

gem install faye
ruby ./server.rb
