##Use Cases

a barebones web socket

There are a few configuration parameters. If you want to implement a heartbeat. Turned off by default. Set the heartbeat to true. Configurations can be made in your /config/environment.js

Example:

APP: {
  // Here you can pass flags/options to your application instance
  // when it is created
	heartbeatEnabled: true,
	websocketUri: "ws://localhost:4000",
	heartbeatString: "heartbeat"
}

They are as followes:

heartbeatEnabled (default is false) expects a string sent from the server at a regular interval.

heartbeatString: the string the server will send at regular interals.

websocketUri: the path to your websocket server including the port.

Once you have configured your enviroment file. You can use this intializer in your views, controllers and adapters like this:

this.socket.onmessage(function(message){
console.log("message");
}
