Getting started is simple. Follow these steps to get up and running.
Start by installing the CLI toolkit
RelayBox CLI toolkit ships with everything you need to get your dev environment up and running. Run the full platform locally with a few simple commands.
To begin, simply install the CLI toolkit using NPM...
npm install -g relayboxOnce the toolkit is installed sucessfully, let's go ahead and spin up the platform...
relaybox platform upnpm install @relaybox/clientNext, Download the SDK Libraries
RelayBox provides client and REST SDK libraries that can be used together or individually depending on your requirements. The SDKs interact directly with the realtime platform, abstracting complex functionality into simple APIs.
Integrate realtime capabilities into client and server-side applications
It's really that simple. You're ready to begin integrating realtime capabilites into your apps and services. The SDKs and services are open-source and available to use without limitation. Benefit from:
- Secure authentication
- Socket connection management
- Client and server side SDK libraries
- Single digit millisecond message processing
- Realtime presence monitoring
- Guaranteed delivery, webhooks, metrics, configurable message history...
import RelayBox from '@relaybox/client';
const relayBox = new RelayBox({
publicKey: 'abcdef.abcdef'
});
await relayBox.connect();
const room = await relayBox.join('room');
await room.subscribe('firstContact', (data) => {
console.log(data);
});
const data = await room.publish('firstContact', {
hello: 'universe'
});
Scale globally with just a few clicks...
When you're ready to go live, simply generate a free API key and deploy your application. All platform software is open source, giving you the flexibility to either self-host or take advantage of our industry-leading managed cloud infrastructure.
Streamlined SDKs backed by industry leading infrastructure
Integration into your applications is straightfoward, using intuitive client and REST SDK libraries. Work offline or connect to managed cloud services for maximum reliability, secuity and performance.
