Is it possible to implement Websockets within a Tiggzi created app ?

Best, Is there a plugin for that or what is the guideline to manually place the code into the app ?

Yes, it's possible. You are just building a standard HTML5, jQuery Mobile (or PhoneGap) app. No plug-in yet so the actual functionality would need to be added by the developer.

FYI... I note that the page that Max refers to was changed to:

(though it does not particularly address Websockets at all.)

Hello Bill,
The builder doesn't have this feature yet (from dev tools side), but any HTML5 or JavaScript feature can always be coded.

I'm sorry for resurrecting a long-dead question, but how did you handle the server-side event loop? Doesn't Appery restrict the runtime of server scripts?

Hi Jason,

If you export your app as HTML/CSS/JS and host it on your side this restrictions won't work.

Ok, so there is no way to implement long-polling or websocket style using the Appery servers? I basically want to accomplish the same notification/event based messaging for our web browser bases clients as for our mobile clients. Like the facebook messenger.

Is this possible through Appery's server scripts or do I need to bring in an outside server for this purpose?

Please watch the video tutorial about creation of chat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7bSY...

thank you. I was interesting video series to watch. Unfortunately, it looks like they just implemented in "Update" button. That doesn't quite work for my purposes, but it showed me a good alternative architecture.

Hi Jeson,

Yes, you are right.

Currently you can not use Long-polling to get server events from Appery.io server code.

But you can do it with others 3rd party servers. Client part does not have this restriction.

Also you have following ways:

1. Request server with some delay.

2. Use Push notification to notify client about something happened on the server side.
