phloWS

phloWS gives a Phlo app realtime without a new language: a single Node broker runs one compiled handler per event. This mini-manual covers the hooks, broadcasting and socket monitoring, and continues straight from the Poll tutorial.

1phloWS overviewphloWS is the realtime layer of the Phlo platform. It lets a Phlo app push to connected browsers over WebSockets without you leaving the Phlo language: you write the same .phlo handlers you already write, and a small Node broker runs one compiled handler per event. 2The four hooksphloWS calls one of four functions in your app for each socket lifecycle event. You implement only the ones you need. 3Broadcasting with wsCastwsCast is how a handler pushes to clients. It posts a message to the broker, which fans it out to the targeted sockets, and each browser applies it through the same phlo.js apply pipeline your async routes already use. 4Socket monitoringBecause every connection passes through your hooks, you can see and manage sockets with ordinary Phlo models, no special tooling required. 5The example appThe phlo-demo-websocket repository is the realtime showcase, and it picks up exactly where the Poll tutorial(/learn) ends. It is the Poll app plus realtime, so you can diff the two to see precisely what phloWS adds.
