module ActionCable
  module Channel
    # The channel provides the basic structure of grouping behavior into logical units when communicating over the WebSocket connection.
    # You can think of a channel like a form of controller, but one that's capable of pushing content to the subscriber in addition to simply
    # responding to the subscriber's direct requests.
    #
    # Channel instances are long-lived. A channel object will be instantiated when the cable consumer becomes a subscriber, and then
    # lives until the consumer disconnects. This may be seconds, minutes, hours, or even days. That means you have to take special care
    # not to do anything silly in a channel that would balloon its memory footprint or whatever. The references are forever, so they won't be released
    # as is normally the case with a controller instance that gets thrown away after every request.
    #
    # Long-lived channels (and connections) also mean you're responsible for ensuring that the data is fresh. If you hold a reference to a user
    # record, but the name is changed while that reference is held, you may be sending stale data if you don't take precautions to avoid it.
    #
    # The upside of long-lived channel instances is that you can use instance variables to keep reference to objects that future subscriber requests
    # can interact with. Here's a quick example:
    #
    #   class ChatChannel < ApplicationCable::Channel
    #     def subscribed
    #       @room = Chat::Room[params[:room_number]]
    #     end
    #
    #     def speak(data)
    #       @room.speak data, user: current_user
    #     end
    #   end
    #
    # The #speak action simply uses the Chat::Room object that was created when the channel was first subscribed to by the consumer when that
    # subscriber wants to say something in the room.
    #
    # == Action processing
    #
    # Unlike subclasses of ActionController::Base, channels do not follow a RESTful
    # constraint form for their actions. Instead, Action Cable operates through a
    # remote-procedure call model. You can declare any public method on the
    # channel (optionally taking a <tt>data</tt> argument), and this method is
    # automatically exposed as callable to the client.
    #
    # Example:
    #
    #   class AppearanceChannel < ApplicationCable::Channel
    #     def subscribed
    #       @connection_token = generate_connection_token
    #     end
    #
    #     def unsubscribed
    #       current_user.disappear @connection_token
    #     end
    #
    #     def appear(data)
    #       current_user.appear @connection_token, on: data['appearing_on']
    #     end
    #
    #     def away
    #       current_user.away @connection_token
    #     end
    #
    #     private
    #       def generate_connection_token
    #         SecureRandom.hex(36)
    #       end
    #   end
    #
    # In this example, the subscribed and unsubscribed methods are not callable methods, as they
    # were already declared in ActionCable::Channel::Base, but <tt>#appear</tt>
    # and <tt>#away</tt> are. <tt>#generate_connection_token</tt> is also not
    # callable, since it's a private method. You'll see that appear accepts a data
    # parameter, which it then uses as part of its model call. <tt>#away</tt>
    # does not, since it's simply a trigger action.
    #
    # Also note that in this example, <tt>current_user</tt> is available because
    # it was marked as an identifying attribute on the connection. All such
    # identifiers will automatically create a delegation method of the same name
    # on the channel instance.
    #
    # == Rejecting subscription requests
    #
    # A channel can reject a subscription request in the #subscribed callback by
    # invoking the #reject method:
    #
    #   class ChatChannel < ApplicationCable::Channel
    #     def subscribed
    #       @room = Chat::Room[params[:room_number]]
    #       reject unless current_user.can_access?(@room)
    #     end
    #   end
    #
    # In this example, the subscription will be rejected if the
    # <tt>current_user</tt> does not have access to the chat room. On the
    # client-side, the <tt>Channel#rejected</tt> callback will get invoked when
    # the server rejects the subscription request.
