This is a client for subscribing server-sent events using the fetch API.
Well, I only have one problem with EventSource and that's quite a biggy: You can't specify headers!
This is a major issue for me every time I have to use SSE mainly because I can't sent a bearer token or the last-event-id, as specified by the SSE spec.
After some quick research, I've found this issue. Based on the conversation, it looks like we'll never be able to set header using EventSource and that the fetch API combine with ReadableStream is a much better option.
I've not be able to find a single example or library, so I'm writing my own.
In development
import SSEClient from 'sse-client';
const es = new SSEClient('http://url', {
headers: new Headers({
'Last-Event-ID': 'some-id',
Authorization: 'Bearer 123token',
}),
});
es.onopen = (event: Event) => void;
es.onclose = () => void;
es.onmessage = (messageEvent: MessageEvent) => any;
es.addEventListener('MyEvent', (messageEvent) => any);
es.removeEventListener('MyEvent');
es.close();- Install:
