A library for creating and managing application lobbies.
This stuff is fairly simple, and lobber comes with a simple type of Lobby object which acts as a chatroom.
In this example, you can see how to create a very simple chat application.
On the server, you will need something like this.
// Create a lobber server!
var lobserver = new lobber.Server( {
websocket: 8044,
socket: 8080
});
// This is to prevent circular imports in lobber...
var ChatLobby = lobber.ChatLobby.Manager( 'chat' );
// Register a chat application, and use ChatLobby to manage individual lobbies.
lobserver.manager.registerApplication( 'chat', ChatLobby );
// This method is called when someone connects.
lobserver.onconnect = function( connection ) {
// Connections must be logged in to do anything specific.
// You can grant a connection access to whatever here, or you
// can wait for the user to send login data over the socket and
// verify it.
connection.onlogin = function( data ) {
// Set the username
connection.user.username = data.username;
// Grant access to everything else
connection.user.loggedIn = true;
};
};Here we can use clobber to make a client, connect, and open a lobby/chatroom.
// Create a new lobber client.
// This client automatically sends a login packet when connected.
// Hence, the username and token should be provided here.
var client = new Clobber({
"server": "ws://addr:port",
"user": {
"name": "username",
"token": "token"
}
});
// Create a lobby for chatrooms.
var ChatLobby = function( client, ns, conn ) {
Clobber.Lobby.call(this, client, ns, conn);
this.type = 'chat';
};
ChatLobby.prototype = new Clobber.Lobby;
ChatLobby.prototype.constructor = clobb;
// Register the application with the client.
client.registerApplication( 'chat', ChatLobby );
// Connect to the server
client.connect();
// Join/open a channel when we log in
client.on( 'pkt.login', function( event, client ) {
client.open( 'chat', 'test' );
} );
// Chat lobby is already open, so join it instead.
client.on( 'lobby.open.error', function( event, client ) {
client.join( event.application, event.id );
} );
// Joined a lobby! Say hello world!
client.on( 'lobby.join', function( event, client ) {
event.lobby.say( 'Hello, world!' );
} );
