Realtime Notifications with ActionCable

In this episode we're going to be adding realtime notifications into your app using ActionCable. We've talked about notifications a few times in the past and we used AJAX polling for that. 95% of the time, polling is the solution that would be recommended for it.

But if you're looking for a good introduction into ActionCable then this is a decent one because we're only really using it for one way from the server side to the client side.

Getting started

So to get started we're starting with an app that has Bootstrap installed and then we created a Main controller with an index view which is where we will list our Notifications as for this example.

Before we generate our channels let's install a few things

軟體工程師裝備建議

最後編輯 2020-11-01

列舉的種類基本上是生產力、健康相關,或是好用的工程師潮流精品(?)

這些是我偏好或想要的裝備,歡迎留言提供其他推薦裝備、發問為何要用或不用某個裝備、品牌。

免費的工具軟體雖然也很重要,但不在這邊討論,有興趣請查看 我的 Mac 環境設定
