Package Exports

sse
sse/lib/sseclient

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 (sse) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

sse.js: a server-sent events implementation for node.js

The HTML5 Server-Sent events specification is introduced "to enable servers to push data to Web pages over HTTP or using dedicated server-push protocols".

The spec can be found here.

Usage

Installing

npm install sse

Basic server

var SSE = require('sse')
  , http = require('http');

var server = http.createServer(function(req, res) {
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  res.end('okay');
});

server.listen(8080, '127.0.0.1', function() {
  var sse = new SSE(server);
  sse.on('connection', function(client) {
    client.send('hi there!');
  });
});

Client code for the above server:

var es = new EventSource("/sse");
es.onmessage = function (event) {
  console.log(event.data);
};
