About

This is a demo showing how to configure faye to run in your rails app as middlware.

You can see a live demo of this repo on heroku at faye-rails-example.herokuapp.com

Integration

1. Add faye and thin to the Gemfile

   gem 'faye'
   gem 'thin'
   

2. Add a line to config/application.rb to use faye middleware (also add to config.ru, heroku may look there)

   config.middleware.use Faye::RackAdapter, :mount => '/faye', :timeout => 25
   

3. Put any middleware extensions you'd like into the app/middleware folder

4. Run the server in production with rails s -e production (you can't use faye in development because some development middleware breaks faye)

Note: To allow the rails app to server static assets in production without the need for a proxy, config/environments/production.rb was tweaked.
