[Swift] ActionHero Client with Swift

Tadaa

Tadaaaaa 

Here's Swift version

client = AHClient()

client.on("alert") { message in println(message)}
client.on("api") { message in println(message)}

client.on("welcome") { message in self.appendMessage(message)}
client.on("say") { message in self.appendMessage(message)}

client.connect() {
    self.client.roomAdd("defaultRoom");
}

Compare to JS version

client = new ActionheroClient;

client.on('alert',        function(message){ alert( JSON.stringify(message) ) })
client.on('api',          function(message){ alert( JSON.stringify(message) ) })

client.on('welcome',      function(message){ appendMessage(message); })
client.on('say',          function(message){ appendMessage(message); })
client.connect(function(err, details){
    if(err != null){
        console.log(err);
    }else{
        client.roomAdd("defaultRoom");
        document.getElementById("name").innerHTML = "\"color:#" + intToARGB(hashCode(client.id)) + "\">" + client.id + "" 
    }
});

Nice eh? :D

BTW : It's just proof of concept, no error/test, so heavy fork is need!
FYI : I'm moving on to MQTT , so don't expect any update so soon.

[Swift] Hello World Primus with Swift via ActionHeroJS

Pretty much same as Objective-C implement nothing to special, just this fancy block...

class Block<T>  {
    let f : T
    init (_ f: T){ self.f = f }
    var casted: AnyObject { get { return unsafeBitCast(f, AnyObject.self) } }
}

Which I can't find shorter way yet

Happy Coding!

[NodeJS] Hello World Primus with Objective-C via ActionHeroJS

From my previous post about Hapi and Faye I did mention about Hello World from Objective-C, So here it is! :D

I'm using Primus Objective-C to send data to ActionHeroJS at this time. Next stop is Swift implement ;)

[PaaS] Free Platform as a Service for NodeJS+Websockets

I did wrote about Backend as a service (BaaS) for free (development/trial out) here. This time I will collect about free Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that can handle NodeJS and Websockets for later use.

Why now? Because... Gordon  has working example which use  NodeJS and Websockets working quite well and seem to be cross-platform (if I read it right) so let collect resources and do labs yeah!
