Agile Web Development with Rails, Edition 5

11.5 Iteration F5: Broadcasting Updates

create a channel

edit app/channels/application_cable/products_channel.rb

class ProductsChannel < ActionCable::Channel::Base

  def subscribed

    stream_from "products"

end

end

send updates when price changes

edit app/controllers/products_controller.rb

  def update

    respond_to do |format|

      if @product.update(product_params)

        format.html { redirect_to @product,

          notice: 'Product was successfully updated.' }

        format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: @product }

        @products = Product.all

        ActionCable.server.broadcast 'products',

          html: render_to_string('store/index', layout: false)

      else

        format.html { render :edit }

        format.json { render json: @product.errors,

          status: :unprocessable_entity }

end

end

end

Update price when notified of price changes

edit app/assets/javascripts/products.coffee

# Place all the behaviors and hooks related to the matching controller here.

# All this logic will automatically be available in application.js.

# You can use CoffeeScript in this file: http://coffeescript.org/

App.productsChannel =

  App.cable.subscriptions.create { channel: "ProductsChannel" },

    received: (data) -> $(".store #main").html(data.html)
