NAME

WWW::Pusher::Client - Laughably incomplete Perl client for Pusher WS API

VERSION

version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

Pusher is a hosted API for the websocket protocol. WWW::Pusher::Client is a laughably incomplete Perl client for their interface. It's really only suited for joining one channel in its lifetime - trigger uses only the most recent channel as defaults.

            

              
              
use WWW::Pusher::Client;
my $pusher =  WWW::Pusher::Client->new(
    auth_key => $ENV{AUTH_KEY},
    secret => $ENV{SECRET},
    channel => 'private-channel'
);
use JSON;
$pusher->trigger('my_event', 'this is some data that isn\'t JSON');
$pusher->trigger('my_event', to_json({
    json => 'json also works!'
});
            
          

The main difference between this module and WWW::Pusher is that this module enables you to subscribe to channels like the WebSocket Pusher clients allow you to do. WWW::Pusher interacts with Pusher via its HTTP API, which doesn't allow for subscriptions. On the other hand, this module uses "AnyEvent::WebSocket::Client" to join channels via websockets and receive real time messages in addition to triggering them.

METHODS

new

Get a client to interact with the Pusher API. You can optionally pass in a channel to subscribe to it after the initial connection, or subscribe manually later on your own.

            

              
              
use WWW::Pusher::Client;
my $pusher =  WWW::Pusher::Client->new(
    auth_key => $ENV{AUTH_KEY},  // required
    secret => $ENV{SECRET},      // required
    channel => 'default-channel' // optional
);
            
          

subscribe

Subscribe to a Pusher channel; currently supporting public and private channels, but not presence channels. The authentication for private channels is automatically handled for you if your channel name is prefixed with 'private-'.

            

              
              
$pusher->subscribe('pubs-are-easy-to-join');
$pusher->subscribe('private-channels-are-supported');
            
          

trigger

Trigger an event & message on the currently subscribed channel.

            

              
              
$pusher->trigger('my_event', 'this is the message!');
