Transport plugin for Racer which uses pure websockets.

• Since version 7.0.0 racer-highway supports only racer >= 0.8
• Since version 8.0.0 racer-highway supports only racer >= 0.9
• Version 10.0.0 dropped support for browserchannel. If you want it, please use version 8.1.0 or 9.0.0

In the server part of your app:

var highway = require('racer-highway');

// ...
// var server = http.createServer
// ...

// ...
// var store  = racer.createStore
// or
// var store  = derby.createStore
// ...

var handlers = highway(store);

expressApp = express();

// ...

expressApp.use(cookieParser());
expressApp.use(session());

// ...

server.on('upgrade', handlers.upgrade);

Connect session support in hooks:

var serverOptions = {
  session: session()
}
var handlers = racerHighWay(store, serverOptions);

Racer Highway will bundle the client browser script using Browserify in the call to store.bundle(...), as illustrated in the racer-examples. However, if you want to do this ahead of time, you can add this to your gulp browserify task using something like:

var browserify = require('browserify');
var racerClientBundle = require('racer-highway/lib/bundle');

// ...

bundler = browserify(opts);
// this adds the racer-highway/lib/browser.js to our bundle
(racerClientBundle())(bundler);
