Actor system for Scala.js -- obsolete
This project is obsolete. It has been superseded by Akka.js.
This project aims at providing an actor system for Scala.js, featuring:
- Supervision
- (Almost) transparent collaboration with actors in an Akka-based backend
- Transparent collaboration with actors in several Web Workers
It is currently a prototype, working well but still in a rough shape. Hence, it is not published anywhere yet.
Build it and try the examples
To build the libraries, use
> package
in an sbt console.
Fault-tolerance example
The fault-tolerance example is taken from Akka's documentation and showcases supervision, death watch notifications and the like.
Build it with:
> faultToleranceExample/fastOptJS
then open examples/faulttolerance/index-fastopt.html in your browser and look
at the Web console for the output.
Web Workers example
The Web Workers example demonstrates the communication between Web Workers.
Build it with:
> webworkersExample/fastOptJS
then open examples/webworkers/index-fastopt.html in your browser and look at
the Webconsole for the output.
Chat example (with client-server communication)
The Chat example is a full-stack Play/Akka/Scala.js application where client and server communicate transparently between Akka/JVM and "Akka/JS".
Build the client then run the server with:
> chatExampleScalaJS/fullOptJS
> project chatExample
[scalajs-actors-examples-chat] $ run
then navigate to http://localhost:9000/opt with your browser. To have some fun, open multiple tabs (or multiple browsers) and start playing with the chat.
