Enable WebSocket communication through the October's AJAX framework-like API and build real-time applications.

Start the WebSocket server by:

php artisan websockets:run

You can specify a --port if you want to, default is 8080.

Then add the client component on your page/layout. You can set an uri property if you are running on a different port. Default is ws://localhost:8080/.

[websocket]

It uses an AJAX framework-like API, is familiar for OctoberCMS developers

data-websocket-event="name"

It fires up send() method with the specified event name.

data-websocket-oneventname="console.log(event)"

It evals the informed script, just like AJAX framework with a data argument.

You are ready to rock on sockets. Build a chat app!

Don't forget to add jQuery and {% scripts %} placeholder.
