Hi. I rewrote the docs to make it more clear. It was a bit messy yes, specially the client side handlers: this should be better now. Thanks for mentioning it.

Please check out the client side handlers part and let me know if anything is unclear or wrong anymore

hello,

My template directory is like this

templates
 I_ instant
    I_ handlers
       I- default.js

Into default.js i get :

if (channel === "public") {
    console.log(message)
 }

But nothing into console.log. I enable watch option on instant admin, i could see messages.

Any idea please ?

The default public channel name is settings.SITE_SLUG_public, so if your SITE_SLUG value in settings is my_site, your channel will be named mysite_public.
You can check in the debug console for the connected channels. Note: it is better to use declarative channels: it is more explicit and you can even control where it should connect from. In settings, and the default public channel will be deprecated in the future

INSTANT_ENABLE_PUBLIC_CHANNEL = False  # do not use the default chan
# declare my chan
INSTANT_PUBLIC_CHANNELS = [
    ['public_chan'],
]

Then use a templates/instant/handlers/public_chan.js handler, or just stick with the default handler

I plan to work on better error messages btw,

{Edit]:

I enable watch option on instant admin, i could see messages.

Check the channel name in the json console message to make sure it is ok

{Edit 2]

nothing into console.log

Did you set the INSTANT_DEBUG setting to True? It should show you if you are connected on a channel or not. Did you include the client template?

my bad again !
In my different tests to make it work i remove the client.

Thanks i'm on the way now ;).
