Using dashing-rails without Redis?

[wilfredwee]

Due to several reasons, using Redis is out of the question for my project. Does dashing-rails support a use case without Redis? The original Dashing project does not have a Redis dependency, though I need to use Dashing with Rails.

How do you plan to push/pull your widgets data? I had a work in progress branch that would abstract the broker in order to use something else, but I did not took the time to finish it.

How does the original Dashing achieve push/pull widgets data without Redis? Is it possible to use the same mechanism?

[gottfrois]

They directly push the data through the web-socket. Redis is here just to help you pushing data from a separated application for example. It serves as a broker.

Now you are probably right, it should be abstracted and not mandatory.

Thanks for clarifying that :)
