How can the client poll the server?

[SteveMaybe]

Is it possible to configure a Seed such that it polls the server periodically to update itself, or is there a way to push updates to the clients state?

Yes this how to do it.

package main

import (
	"time"

	"qlova.org/seed"
	"qlova.org/seed/client"
	"qlova.org/seed/client/clientside"
	"qlova.org/seed/client/poll"
	"qlova.org/seed/new/app"
	"qlova.org/seed/new/text"
)

//NewServerTime returns a text seed that is updated with the time from the server every second.
func NewServerTime(options ...seed.Option) seed.Seed {

	//Create a clientside string that is stored on the client.
	ServerTime := new(clientside.String)

	return text.New(
		text.SetStringTo(ServerTime),

		poll.Every(time.Second, client.Run(func() client.Script {
			return ServerTime.Set(time.Now().String())
		})),

		//Pass through any options.
		seed.Options(options),
	)
}

func main() {
	app.New("Polling Example",
		NewServerTime(),
	).Launch()
}

I have updated the answer, you will need to get the master version of Qlovaseed for polling support.
go get qlova.org/seed@master
(call this inside your module)

Wonderful! Thank so much for adding this in. Qlovaseed is quite the robust framework, I'm excited to have come across it.

Thanks again!
