MooStreamer – Streamable AJAX with Mootools v0.1 (alpha)

So here we go
The last few nights, I was coding AJAX stream tool based on Mootools and XHR (part of Moo’s Remoting). I’ll like to write more examples soon, but 1st i’ll post the code not for the masses, so any suggest will be discussed and etc. Ideas are welcome


var MooStreamer = XHR.extend({
messageTag:"msg",
pollingInterval:null,
pollingSpeed:150,
lastIndex:0,
initialize: function(options){
this.parent(options);
},
send: function(url, data) {
switch($type(data)){
case 'element': data = $(data).toQueryString(); break;
case 'object': data = Object.toQueryString(data);
} //Ajax.request's code for toQueryString converting

this.pollingInterval = this.streamReader.bind(this).periodical(this.pollingSpeed);
this.nextReadPos=1;
this.parent(url, data);
},
streamReader: function() {
var txt = this.transport.responseText;
var msgs = txt.split(new RegExp(“\<”+this.messageTag+”\>(.*?)\<\/”+this.messageTag+”\>”,”gi”));
for(k in msgs) {
if(k >= this.lastIndex && msgs[k].length != 0 && msgs[k].indexOf(“<”+this.messageTag+”>”) == -1) {
//console.log(“idx(“+k+”/”+this.lastIndex+”) = “+msgs[k])
eval(msgs[k]);
this.lastIndex+=2;
}
}
if (!this.running) $clear(this.pollingInterval);
}
});
More on AJAX Streaming technologies, like Load balancing, PHP frameworks and etc.. soon

Let’s move the discussion to Mootools Forum
