CableReady broadcast_to example

Goal

Broadcasting to a resource - where you're sending based on what you're looking at instead of who you are - is easy and powerful. This example combines StimulusReflex's "Nothing Morph" concept - a light-weight RPC mechanism - to instruct CableReady to broadcast to everyone's favourite resource, current_user (which is being converted to User#1).

You can find out more in the CableReady Docs.

Setup

1. Install and run Redis
2. Clone this repo to your machine and go to the project folder
3. Run bin/setup
4. Start the server with rails s
5. Open your browser's Console Inspector and go to localhost:3000
6. Login as test@test.com with the password topsecret or create your own account

Note that caching in development is locked in the "on" position. This is a good thing.

Code review

Part of the reason this example is so powerful is that there's very little to it. That's why it's exciting.

Still, the files you're interested in are likely:

• app/reflexes/example_reflex.rb
• app/channels/application_cable/connection.rb
• app/channels/users_channel.rb
• app/javascript/channels/users_channel.js
