sse-manager

Handle server sent events with ease.

Supported features:

• handle single request
• handle multiple requests using rooms abstraction
• ExpressJs compatible
• Redis events compatible
• pluggable with every backend server framework with programmable custom http adapters
• pluggable with every event dispatcher tool with programmable custom event adapters

Usage

classic usage:

const { createSSEManager } = require("@soluzioni-futura/sse-manager")

const sseManager = await createSSEManager()

app.get("/stream", async(req, res) => {
  const sseStream = await sseManager.createSSEStream(res)
  await sseStream.broadcast({ data: "Joining you to test-room"})
  await sseStream.addToRoom("test-room")
})

setInterval(async() => {
  await sseManager.broadcast("test-room", { data: "Hello test-room people!" })
}, 1000)

with Redis events adapter:

  const redisClient = createClient({
    url: "redis://redis:6379"
  })

  await redisClient.connect()

  const redisSubscriber = redisClient.duplicate()
  await redisSubscriber.connect()

  const sseManager = await createSSEManager({
    eventsAdapter: new RedisEventsAdapter({
      redisClient,
      redisSubscriber
    })
  })

with PostgreSQL events adapter:

  const dbOptions = {
    host: 'your_host',
    user: 'your_user',
    port: 5432,
    password: 'your_password',
    database: 'your_database'
  }

  const sseManager = await createSSEManager({
    eventsAdapter: new PostgresEventAdapter(dbOptions)
  })

createSSEManager options

const sseManager = await createSSEManager({
  httpAdapter: new ExpressHttpAdapter(), // default
  eventsAdapter: new EmitterEventsAdapter() // default, uses node event emitters to broadcast events
})

Adapters

HTTP Adapters

available http adapters:

• ExpressHttpAdapter: default, uses ExpressJs to handle http requests

• FastifyHttpAdapter: uses Fastify to handle http requests

• custom http adapter:

  class CustomHttpAdapter = extends HTTPAdapter {
    constructor() {
      super({
        setResHeaders: (res, headers): void => {
          // add your custom code here
          Object.entries(headers).forEach(([k, v]) => res.set(k, v)) // example: code from ExpressHttpAdapter
        },
  
        writeRes: (res, data): void => {
          // add your custom code here
          res.write(data) // example: code from ExpressHttpAdapter
        },
  
        flushResHeaders: (res): void => {
          // add your custom code here
          res.flushHeaders() // example: code from ExpressHttpAdapter
        },
  
        endRes: (res): void => {
          // add your custom code here
          res.end() // example: code from ExpressHttpAdapter
        },
  
        onCloseCallback: (res, fn): void => {
          // add your custom code here
          res.on("close", fn) // example: code from ExpressHttpAdapter
        }
      })
    }
  }

Event Adapters

available event adapters:

• EmitterEventsAdapter: default, uses NodeJs event emitters to broadcast events in a single application instance use case
• RedisEventsAdapter: uses Redis to broadcast events in a multiple application instance use case
• PostgresEventsAdapter: uses PostgreSQL to broadcast events in a multiple application instance use case
• custom event adapter:

class CustomEventsAdapter = extends EventsAdapter {
  #emitter = new EventEmitter() // example: code from EmitterEventsAdapter

  constructor() {
    super({
      emit: (event, data) => {
        // add your custom code here

        // example: code from EmitterEventsAdapter
        this.#emitter.emit(event, data)
        return Promise.resolve()
      },
      on: (event, fn) => {
        // add your custom code here

        // example: code from EmitterEventsAdapter
        this.#emitter.on(event, (data) => {
          return fn(data, event)
        })
        return Promise.resolve()
      }
    })
  }
}
