2. Response sent from server to browser

• Used for new post locking system

• API allows plugins to hook into both ends of the communication

• Happens periodically in the background

Sending data from Browser to Server

– wp.heartbeat.enqueue($handle, $data, $override)

e.g.

wp.heartbeat.enqueue(‘lc-hb-plugin’, {‘beer’: ‘good’, ‘pizza’: ‘yummy’, }, false);

Sending response from Server to Browser – For logged in users:

• add_filter( ‘heartbeat_received’, ‘lc_response’, 10, 3 )

– For logged out sessions: • add_filter( ‘heartbeat_nopriv_received’, ‘lc_response’, 10, 3 )

e.g.

function lc_response ( $response, $data, $screen_id ) {

if ( isset( $data[‘lc-hb-plugin‘] ) ) { // We have data with our handle! Lets respond with something...

echo $data[‘lc-hb-plugin’][‘beer’]; //prints ‘good’;

$response[‘lc-hb-plugin’] = array( ‘hello’ => ‘world’ );

}

return $response;

}

Listening for the Return ‘Beat’ – WordPress triggers ‘heartbeat_tick’ event

e.g. jQuery(document).ready( function($) {

$(document).on( 'heartbeat-tick.lc-hb-plugin', function( event, data ) {

if ( data.hasOwnProperty( ‘lc-hb-plugin' ) ) {

console.log( data[‘lc-hb-plugin'] ); // Prints to the console { 'hello' : 'world' }

}

});
