yggdrasil v4.0.0 Yggdrasil.Backend behaviour View Source
Backend behaviour that defines how to subscribe, unsubscribe and publish as well as send messages of connection and disconnection to subscribers.
By default, the implementation uses Phoenix.PubSub
as backend.
Backend alias
When defining backends it is possible to define aliases for the module as follows:
defmodule Yggdrasil.Backend.MyBackend do
use Yggdrasil.Backend, name: :my_backend
(... behaviour implementation ...)
end
And adding the following to our application supervision tree:
Supervisor.start_link([
{Yggdrasil.Backend.MyBackend, []}
...
])
This will allow you to use the following as a Channel
to subscribe and
publish:
%Channel{name: "my_channel", backend: :my_backend}
