Usage

var Client = &http.Client{}

Client is the default client used for requests.

var (
	//ErrNilChan will be returned by Notify if it is passed a nil channel
	ErrNilChan = fmt.Errorf("nil channel given")
)

var GetReq = func(verb, uri string, body io.Reader) (*http.Request, error) {
	return http.NewRequest(verb, uri, body)
}

GetReq is a function to return a single request. It will be used by notify to get a request and can be replaces if additional configuration is desired on the request. The "Accept" header will necessarily be overwritten.

func Notify

func Notify(uri string, evCh chan<- *Event) error

Notify takes the uri of an SSE stream and channel, and will send an Event down the channel when recieved, until the stream is closed. It will then close the stream. This is blocking, and so you will likely want to call this in a new goroutine (via go Notify(..))

type Event

type Event struct {
	URI  string
	Type string
	Data io.Reader
}

Event is a go representation of an http server-sent event
