Access the loop from class

[elpoleto]

Is there no way to access the main loop throught the application class? It would be useful to add timer etc

In ratchet is possible as (for example WebSocket Server): $server = new IoServer(new HttpServer(new WsServer(new Chat($loop))), $socket, $loop);

@elpoleto I've not needed to do this before and haven't read up on this feature, so I'm not 100% clear on why you would do this. Could you provide a solid use-case?

[elpoleto]

yes, sure, in my case i communicate with a iot device. for some actions i need the $loop->addTimer() to check a sort of timeouts but in my own class (in my case extends "RatchetWsServer") there is no access to the loop

[elpoleto]

For now i implemented my own command and exclude the package one by composer.json as: .... "autoload": { "files": [ "app/Library/helpers.php", "app/overrides/RatchetServerCommand.php" ], "classmap": [ "database/seeds", "database/factories" ], "psr-4": { "App\": "app/" }, "exclude-from-classmap": [ "vendor/askedio/laravel-ratchet/src/Console/Commands/RatchetServerCommand.php" ] }, .....

all this to rewrite this simple call in method "createServerInstance()", that is private, to pass the $loop to the class .... $this->serverInstance = $this->ratchetServer = new $class($this, $this->getEventLoop()) ....

Is this project still alive?

Hi

We are looking for more maintainers and am happy to merge PRs but there is not much active development on this project.
