This is a Ruby implementation of the client for message_bus.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'message_bus-client'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install message_bus-client

The API is mostly equivalent with the JavaScript client:

client = MessageBus::Client.new('http://chat.samsaffron.com/')
client.subscribe('/message') do |payload|
  # Do stuff
end

client.start
client.pause
client.resume
client.stop

Both Long Polling and normal polling are supported:

MessageBus::Client.long_polling = true # false to disable
MessageBus::Client.poll_interval = 15 # seconds

After checking out the repo, run bundle install to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests.

If you are running Windows, Ruby is not able to kill the server process. Run it separately using rake server before running the specs.
