bigio

0.1.13 • Public • Published

Checkout the Java or the Python versions of BigIO.

BigIO

BigIO is a fast, distributed messaging framework for a variety of languages. This version of BigIO runs in NodeJS, and is fully interoperable with the Java version.

Note: BigIO is only compatible with Node versions > 0.12.x.

Installation

Add bigio to your package.json.

"dependencies": {
    "bigio" : "0.1.13"
}

Then type npm install

Usage

Basic Usage

Register a listener on a topic:

var bigio = require('bigio');
 
bigio.initialize(function() {
    bigio.addListener( {
        topic: 'HelloWorld',
        listener: function(message) {
            console.log('Received a message');
            console.log(message[0]);
        }
    });
});

Send a message on a topic:

var bigio = require('bigio');
 
bigio.initialize(function() {
    setInterval(function() {
        bigio.send( {
            topic: 'HelloWorld',
            message: { content : 'HelloWorld' }
        });
    }, 1000);
});

BigIO and JQuery

To use BigIO messages to update a web app, I'd recommend using the awesome project socket.io. This is necessary since the BigIO messages come to the Node.js server and not the browser. To bridge this gap, we use socket.io.

Here's an example using Express, socket.io, and JQuery:

index.js
var app = require('express');
var http = require('http').Server(app);
var io = require('socket.io');
var bigio = require('bigio');
var $ = require('jquery');
 
http.listen(3000, function() {
    console.log('Listening on port 3000');
});
 
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});
 
bigio.initialize(function() {
    bigio.addListener( {
        topic: 'HelloWorld',
        listener: function(message) {
            var messageStr = message[0];
            io.emit('hello_world', { 'message': messageStr });
        }
    });
});
