I am new to these tecnologies.
I want to get realtime visitor for each products for my site.
I mean a notify like "X users seeing this product".
Whenever an user connects to a product counter will be increased for this product and when disconnects counter will be decreased just for this product.
I tried to search a lots of documents but i got confused.
I am using Predis Library for PHP.
What i have done may totaly be wrong.
I am not sure Where to put createClient , When to subscribe & When to unsubscribe.
What I have done yet:
On product detail page:
$key = "product_views_".$product_id;
$counter = $redis->incr($key);
$redis->publish("productCounter", json_encode(array("product_id"=> "1000", "counter"=> $counter )));
In app.js
var app = require('express')()
, server = require('http').createServer(app)
, socket = require('socket.io').listen(server,{ log: false })
, url = require('url')
, http= require('http')
, qs = require('querystring')
,redis = require("redis");
var connected_socket = 0;
server.listen(8080);
var productCounter = redis.createClient();
productCounter.subscribe("productCounter");
productCounter.on("message", function(channel, message){
console.log("%s, the message : %s", channel, message);
io.sockets.emit(channel,message);
}
productCounter.on("unsubscribe", function(){
//I think to decrease counter here, Shold I? and How?
}
io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
connected_socket++;
socket_id = socket.id;
console.log("["+socket_id+"] connected");
socket.on('disconnect', function (socket) {
connected_socket--;
console.log("Client disconnected");
productCounter.unsubscribe("productCounter");
});
})
Thanks a lot for your answers!
