Ember SSE(Server Sent Event)

This addon enables the ability to interact with Server Sent Events in Emberjs APPs. In most of the applications, the applications mostly require push updates or notifications, then in such cases, SSE makes more sense. The add on adds SSE as a service named as event-sse. All the SSE can be configured through the configuration defined in environment.js of the application itself.

APP: {
    'event-sse': {
        origin: <optional url if reading SSE from external host/origin> // eg: http://my-machine:8000
        configuration: [{
             // allows to override origin per SSE/event type basis
            origin: <same as above>

            // eventName defines the event type one is interested in. Lets say, interested in getting updates
            // on stock quotes, then eventName would be Quote or quote. This would result in subscribing SSE on url
            // http://<origin>/subscribe/quotes. Note, addon itself pluralizes the eventType to `quotes`
            eventName: <identifier for events interested in> // for eg, Quote

            // event type indicates if this SSE is some important update or just plain notification. Currently
            // supports only two values update|notification. In case of 'update', it will try to push the
            // update in the Ember data store and in the case of notification, it will just publish the SSE as
            // the notification.

            eventType: 'update' // for eg

            // If the SSE supports JSON API. Be default, it is false.
            supportJsonApi: false //
        }]
    }
}

This README outlines the details of collaborating on this Ember addon.

Installation

Development Version

• git clone <repository-url> this repository
• cd ember-sse && npm install && bower install
• Execute, npm link in directory ember-sse and then in the root project, execute npm link ember-sse

Prodution Version

• Work in Progress.
• Though it should be as simple as executing ember install ember-sse

Running Tests

Still learning Ember. Still need to write tests. Becomes difficult to test something like EventSource.

• npm test (Runs ember try:each to test your addon against multiple Ember versions)
• ember test
• ember test --server

Building

• ember build

For more information on using ember-cli, visit https://ember-cli.com/.
