SSE Poc

Purpose of this repository is to understand the usage of Server Side Events using Go.

Demo

Usage

1. To run the server

   go run server/server.go

2. In a different terminal. Run an in-built client

   go run client/client.go

   Or open the index.html file in a browser and click on Trigger Event button.

3. Once the server is up, and you have a client running, send a trigger to /trigger endpoint

   curl -i localhost:8080/trigger

4. The client will show the data that was emitted from server. Any other client can connect on the following url

   http://127.0.0.1:8080/events?stream=messages
