Module Eliom_bus
: sig end Broadcasting facilities between clients and server type 'a t The type of bus's carrying values of type 'a . Bus's are values that can be easily shared among clients. Each of these clients along with the server can send a value on the bus. Values can be received by each of the participants as a stream. Note that no effort is put to order message receptions on the different participants. val create : ?scope:[< Eliom_comet.Channel.comet_scope ] -> ?name:string -> ?size:int -> 'a Deriving_Json.t -> 'a t create ?scope ?name ?size makes a fresh bus. The name optional parameter can be used to make persistent (as in server restart persistent) bus's. The scope parameter is used to chose the kind of channel on which the bus rely (See Eliom_comet.create for more information). The ?name argument allow one to make bus's persistent over server restart. The size argument behaves like the one on Eliom_comet.Channel.create val stream : 'a t -> 'a Lwt_stream.t stream b returns the stream of datas sent to bus b . Notice you sould not use that function multiple times on the same bus, it will return the same stream. If you want to receive multiple times the same datas, you sould copy the stream with Lwt_stream.clone val write : 'a t -> 'a -> unit write b x sends the value x on the bus b . Every participant, including the server, will receive x .
