Melody__ Use Cases

• Simple Chat Application:

  • Scenario: You’re building a small real-time chat application that doesn’t require complex scaling or high concurrency.
  • Why Melody?: Melody provides lightweight WebSocket support, allowing you to handle real-time messaging between users with ease. Since it’s integrated into your Go application, there’s no need for external services.

  m := melody.New()
  
  http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
      http.ServeFile(w, r, "index.html")
  })
  
  http.HandleFunc("/ws", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
      m.HandleRequest(w, r)
  })
  
  m.HandleMessage(func(s *melody.Session, msg []byte) {
      m.Broadcast(msg)
  })
  
  http.ListenAndServe(":5000", nil)

• Real-time Notifications for a Small Web App:

  • Scenario: A web application needs real-time notifications (e.g., for task updates or comments).
  • Why Melody?: Since Melody can easily handle WebSocket connections, it’s a simple way to notify users in real-time about new updates or messages, without complex infrastructure.
