Faraday Em::Synchrony adapter

This gem is a Faraday adapter for the Em::Synchrony library. Faraday is an HTTP client library that provides a common interface over many adapters. Every adapter is defined into its own gem. This gem defines the adapter for Em::Synchrony.

Installation

Add these lines to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'faraday-em_synchrony'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install them yourself as:

$ gem install faraday-em_synchrony

Usage

This adapter can be used to make parallel requests using EventMachine.

The key difference between this and EM-Http is that it uses fibers. For more information see igrigorik's blog posts on the matter:

• fibers-cooperative-scheduling-in-ruby
• untangling-evented-code-with-ruby-fibers

Error handling and responses have a slightly different behaviour and structure in some cases. Please run thorough testing scenarios, including connection failures and SSL failures

Base request

require 'faraday/em_synchrony'

conn = Faraday.new(...) do |f|
  # no custom options available
  f.adapter :em_synchrony
end

Parallel Requests

require 'faraday/em_synchrony'

urls = Array.new(5) { 'http://127.0.0.1:3000' }

conn = Faraday::Connection.new do |builder|
  builder.adapter :em_synchrony
end

begin
  conn.in_parallel do
    puts "Parallel manager: #{conn.parallel_manager}"

    @responses = urls.map do |url|
      conn.get(url)
    end
  end
end

# Gather responses outside of block
puts @responses.map(&:status).join(', ')
puts @responses.map(&:status).compact.count

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bin/test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
