Multi Window Communication

You are running OpenFin Runtime version:

This example shows four different ways of pushing out messages from a single source to multiple windows.

• Broadcast Channel using a Shared WebWorker
• Broadcast Channel from the Publisher Page
• OpenFin IAB Message Bus from the Publisher Page (only within OpenFin)
• OpenFin Channel API from the Publisher Page (only within OpenFin)

You may want to have one window/worker acting as the connection to a websocket and then have that push out data across multiple windows.

This hasn't been built as an example of best practice. The goal is to give you a way of defining what type of message you want to share, how you want to share that message and if there is a threshold in milliseconds you do not want a message to exceed.

You can run this example in the browser (enable popups):

Launch in the Browser

Or you can run this example in OpenFin:
