Package Exports

event-source-stream

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (event-source-stream) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

event-source-stream

EventSource implemented in node as a readable stream

npm install event-source-stream

Usage

var ess = require('event-source-stream')

ess('http://server-sent-events-demo.herokuapp.com/update')
  .on('data', function(data) {
    console.log('received event:', data)
  })

Per default it will retry after 3s when the connection terminates. Change this by setting the retry option

// no retries
ess('http://server-sent-events-demo.herokuapp.com/update', {retry:false}).pipe(...)

// retry after 10s
ess('http://server-sent-events-demo.herokuapp.com/update', {retry:10000}).pipe(...)

Browser support

It also works in the browser using browserify

var ess = require('event-source-stream') // will use EventSource behind the scene

ess('http://server-sent-events-demo.herokuapp.com/update')
  .on('data', function(data) {
    console.log('recevied event in the browser', data)
  })
