requestHandlerToListener

function

Transforms XHR request handler into socket event listener.

`requestHandlerToListener( reqHandler )`

Transforms request handler that expects two arguments request and response into socket event listener.

server.on("news find", requestHandlerToListener( fixtureStore.getListData ));

Parameters

reqHandler {function}:
A request handler, e.g. getListData.

Use

Fixture store methods expect two arguments req and res and work like this:

grab query from req.data;
on error call res( 403, err );
on success call res( data ).

The format of the returned data is:

for [can-fixture/StoreType.prototype.getDataList]: {count: , limit: , offset: , data: [{...},{...}, ...]}
for getData: the item object.

We can use the helper to transform fixture store methods into event listeners:

var fixture = require("can-fixture");
var canSet = require("can-set");
var io = require("socket.io-client");
var fixtureSocket = require("can-fixture-socket");

// Create fixture store:
var fixtureStore = fixture.store([
  {id: 1, title: 'One'},
  {id: 2, title: 'Two'},
  {id: 3, title: 'Three'}
], new canSet.Algebra({}));

var mockedServer = new fixtureSocket.Server(io);
mockedServer.on("books find", fixtureStore.requestHandlerToListener( fixtureStore.getListData ));
