Features

  • JWT functionality is available without additional dependencies.

    No need to install anycable-rails-jwt anymore.

  • Signed streams support.

    Added #signed_stream_name helper and AnyCable::Rails.signed_stream_name helper to generate signed streams.

  • Added websocket_url parameter to provide a WS server address for clients.

    This new parameter automatically updates the config.action_cable.url to provide the WS server information to clients via #action_cable_meta_tag (or #action_cable_with_jwt_meta_tag) helpers. Thus, all you need to point your clients to AnyCable is configure the websocket_url (or ANYCABLE_WEBSOCKET_URL) value, no code changes required.

  • Allow specifying the whispering stream via #stream_from(..., whisper: true).

    You can use specify the stream to use for whispering (client-initiated broadcasts) by adding whisper: true to the #stream_from (or #stream_for) method call.

  • Broadcasting to objects.

    Extended ActionCable.server.broadcast to accept not only strings but objects (similar to Channel.broadcast_to(...)).

    See docs.

  • Extracted rails g anycable:bin from rails g anycable:setup.

    This generator creates a bin/anycable-go script to run (and install) AnyCable server locally.

This release makes our Action Cable integration more robust and safe to use with other extensions.
We also made it easier to run both Action Cable and AnyCable at the same time, so you can migrate gradually.

Changes

  • Action Cable integration is completely rewritten to avoid potential patches incompatibility. The amount of patches code has been minimized, no more open classes, only Module#prepend with a feature check.

Features

  • Added AnyCable::Rails.extend_adapter! method to make any Action Cable pub/sub adapter compatible with AnyCable (i.e., broadcast updates to both Action Cable engine and AnyCable).

This is a maintenance release. Most changes are internal and doesn't affect public APIs.

Requirements

  • Ruby >= 2.6 is required.
  • Rails >= 6.0 is required.

Changes

  • Adding anycable or grpc gem as an explicit dependency is required.

Now, anycable-rails depends on anycable-core, which doesn't include gRPC server implementation.
You should either add anycable or grpc (>= 1.37) gem as an explicit dependency.

Features

  • Added ability to embed AnyCable RPC into a Rails server process.

Set embedded: true in the configuration to launch RPC along with rails s (only for Rails 6.1+).

See the project's release notes for more information on all AnyCable libraries.

Please, checkout the upgrade notes to learn how to migrate from 0.6 to 1.0.

Features

  • Added interactive rails g anycable:setup command for initial AnyCable configuration.

  • Added request support to channels.

Now you can access underlying HTTP request data in channels, too.

  • Added Rack middleware support (incl. out-of-the-box Rails sessions support).

You can enhance request object by passing it through a custom middleware chain (e.g., when using Warden for authentication). By default, we include Rails session middleware, which makes request.session available in AnyCable without any hacks.

See documentation.

  • Added state_attr_accessor to persist channels state.

See documentation.

  • Added support for ActionCable.server.remote_connections.where(...).disconnect.

  • Added compatibility with Rails 6.1.

Including type: :disconnect messages, Connection.rescue_from, stop_stream_from.

Changes

  • Using anycable-go v1.x is required.

RubyConf 2018 special.

tl;dr use anycable CLI instead of generator; use :any_cable subscription adapter for Action Cable to activate AnyCable.

NOTE: this version has been yanked from RubyGems due to the regression bug. Use 0.6.1.

This release requires anycable gem >= 0.6.0. See release notes for anycable 0.6.0.

See also upgrade notes.

Changes

  • No more generators.

No need to generate AnyCable runner script since anycable gem ships with the CLI.

Scripts generated by the previous version should work (unless have a non-generated code).

  • [Breaking] Added :any_cable subscription adapter for Action Cable.

Use :any_cable adapter for Action Cable to broadcast data to AnyCable.

Action Cable monkey-patches are only loaded in the context of AnyCable CLI. ([@palkan][])

No need to think about require and group for anycable-rails, just add it to Gemfile.

Features

  • Added support for request verification based on ActionCable config (disable_forgery_protection, allow_same_origin_as_host and allowed_request_origins)

  • Add compatibility checks.

See documentation.

  • Add WS server session ID to log tags if present.

Session ID feature is supported by anycable-go >= 0.6.0.

Improvements

  • Tagged logging is supported (was ignored previously).

  • Added Rails executor/reloader support.

Now code changes are handled by RPC server (in development).
