anycable Golang client

[cinemast]

I am having difficulties creating a golang anycable client application that can subscribe and publish to channels. Am I overlooking a client package in this repo?

Do you have any sample snippets on how to publish/subscribe to anycable server from a golang client application?

Hey!

Publishing can be done via raw HTTP. It's just a POST request:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"stream":"my_stream","data":"{\"text\":\"Hello, world!\"}"}' http://localhost:8090/_broadcast

As for subscribing, we don't have any official clients yet, but there are some options:

• Use Server-sent events (there should be existing Go implementations). This way you can subscribe to a single channel with just streaming HTTP

• Check out our k6 plugin, which has a client implementation: https://github.com/anycable/xk6-cable/blob/master/client.go

Thank you, I will try that. Is there some sort of API description?

I quickly hacked together one, maybe someone else finds it useful:
