WebSockets and a better configuration system

This is a major release. Sections of older actionHero projects will be incompatible with this release.

This release adds web socket support to the project, and abstracts the chat room system to be available generically to all types of persistently-connected clients. This release also updates the configuration system to allow developers to use any/all/none of the connection methods. This should make it easier to add more and more communication protocols to the project.

Notes

General

  • default file route changed from '/file' to '/public'; /file is the "action" called file which is provided as an example
  • new configuration system. Check config.js for updated structure
  • all transports can be enabler or disabled based on config.js
  • api.id now reflects protocols in use
  • you can now specify which IPs actionHero will listen on for each protocol. Use "0.0.0.0" for "all""

Actions

  • randomNumber action update to show how to inspect different HTTP verbs to create different responses

Chat

  • new initializer to make chat available to all persistent-socket clients
  • new api.chatRoom namespace for chat functions (IE: api.socketServer.socketRoomBroadcast => api.chatRoom.socketRoomBroadcast)

Web Sockets

  • socket.io a dependency of the project
  • socket.io client JS symlikned to /public
  • websocket example created
  • status counts for webSockets
  • websockets can be bound to http or https

Tests

  • Spec Helper & Tests updated to reflect new configuration system

Examples
