express-sse-manager

Server-Sent Events is great, but a little tricky to setup and manage with Express.

This package provides a way of managing individual sse connections. In the future a channel subscribe/unsubscribe.

Express

First

const sse = require('@chriscdn/express-sse-manager/express/')

app.use('/sse', sse.routes)

Second

Add to routes where you'd like access to the sse connection.

const sseMiddleware = require('@chriscdn/express-sse-manager/express/middleware')

app.use('/myroute/', sseMiddleware, ...)

This adds a sseSendMessage function to the request.

Third

Connect from the client.
