  • Rails web socket server with external web socket client (also in Ruby)

    Keep in mind that ActionCable implements its own JSON-based payload structure on top of web sockets. So you would need to build something on top of the basic web socket package to be able to exchange messages with a Rails backend. A quick google suggests there are a couple of ruby-based projects that have done that. You might check out action-cable-client, which doesn't look particularly maintained, but might give you a place to start.

    So there is a gem webpush for adding webpush functionality into your Rails App. We had implementation for webpush already with the model named as Push_subscription. Basically for each webpush notification there will be a record in the database which on subscribing triggered the user browser and he can see the notification in the web.
