BigIO Web App

Checkout the Java or the Python versions of BigIO.

$3

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.

``

json

"dependencies": {

    "bigio" : "0.1.13"

}





Then type

`npm install`





Usage



#### Basic Usage



Register a listener on a topic:

javascript

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:

javascript

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

javascript

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 });

        }

    });

});
