Class Comet

java.lang.Object

play.libs.Comet

public abstract class Comet
extends Object

Provides an easy way to use a Comet formatted output with Akka Streams. There are two methods that can be used to convert strings and JSON, Comet.string and Comet.json. These methods build on top of the base method, Comet.flow, which takes a Flow of akka.util.ByteString and organizes it into Comet format.

   public Result liveClock() {
        final DateTimeFormatter df = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("HH mm ss");
        final Source tickSource = Source.tick(Duration.Zero(), Duration.create(100, MILLISECONDS), "TICK");
        final Source eventSource = tickSource.map((tick) -> df.format(ZonedDateTime.now()));

        final Source<ByteString, NotUsed> flow = eventSource.via(Comet.string("parent.clockChanged"));
        return ok().chunked(flow).as(Http.MimeTypes.HTML);
   }
