Xavi - Realtime Channel Server

WebSocket interface for highly distributed systems

Server library (node.js)

Features

• Channel Subscriptions: publish messages to subscribed clients via smart channel propagation.
• Service Bindings: deploy an integrated system to broadcast messages from distributed backend services.
• Middleware: manipulate incoming and outgoing messages; add authentication, encoding, and more.

Getting started

Install Xavi

npm install xavi

Create a new Xavi server

var xavi = require("xavi");
var app = xavi.createServer();

Add service bindings

var RedisService = require("xavi-service-redis");
var RabbitService = require("xavi-service-rabbitmq");

app.services.bind("redis.channel", RedisService.extend({
	host: "localhost",
	port: 6379
}));

app.services.bind("rabbit.channel", RabbitService.extend({
	host: "localhost",
	port: 5672
}));

Add middleware

var AuthMiddleware = require("xavi-middleware-auth");
var AuthBackend = require("path/to/auth/backend");

app.middleware.bind(AuthMiddleware.extend({
	backend: new AuthBackend()
}));

Start server

app.listen(8080, "localhost");
