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.
