websocketd (0.2.7)
websocketd is a command line tool that will allow any executable program
that accepts input on stdin and produces output on stdout to be turned into
a WebSocket server....
create an app
count.sh:
#!/bin/bash
# Count from 1 to 10, pausing for a second between each iteration.
for COUNT in $(seq 1 10); do
echo $COUNT
sleep 1
done
Make it executable:
$ chmod +x ./count.sh
Start the server:
➜ websockets ./websocketd --port=8080 ./count.sh
Fri, 13 Dec 2013 14:58:11 +1100 | INFO | server | | Starting WebSocket server : ws://0.0.0.0:8080/
Fri, 13 Dec 2013 14:58:11 +1100 | INFO | server | | Serving using application : ./count.sh
In a web-page:
var ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8080/');
ws.onmessage = function(event) {
console.log('Count is: ' + event.data);
};
bam:
function (event) {
console.log('Count is: ' + event.data);
}

ws.onmessage = function(event) {
document.getElementById('count').innerText = event.data;
};
</script>
