in thread Mojolicious refresh

A more advanced technique consists in a client side framework like Angular where the page's content depends on some JS variables and is automatically refreshed whenever a variable's value changes. These changes may be pushed to the client via web sockets. This way page updates are minimal, smooth and happen immediately.

Implementing this using Mojolicious::Lite on the server side is pretty easy. The real work has to be done on the client.

    I always thought that the benefit of Web sockets was that the action can be initiated from the server.

    I don't see the big difference to the AJAX/DOM point I listed.

    Or what's the advancement here?

    Speed?

      Avoid polling. Changed content is pushed to the client. This is AJAX based anyway.

        I think it would be fantastic to see some demo code for that here.

        Sure, but again:

        what for would one want this? Speed?
