Socket.io integration for message broadcasting
Here is the code that will perform the RethinkDB changefeed operation and event broadcasting:
var rethinkdb = require('rethinkdb'); var db = require('./db'); var pollObject = new db(); module.exports = function(socket) { pollObject.connectToDb(function(err,connection) { if(err) { return callback(true,"Error connecting to database"); } // Look over this line carefully. // we are invoking changes() function on poll table. // On every change it will give us data. rethinkdb.table('poll').changes().run(connection,function(err,cursor) { if(err) { console.log(err); } // We are scrolling over the cursor data and broadcasting the changes using socket. cursor.each(function(err,row) { console.log(JSON.stringify(row)); if(Object.keys(row).length > 0) { socket.broadcast.emit("changeFeed...
