aiohttp-sse's Introduction

aiohttp-sse

The EventSource interface is used to receive server-sent events. It connects to a server over HTTP and receives events in text/event-stream format without closing the connection. aiohttp-sse provides support for server-sent events for aiohttp.

Installation

Installation process as simple as:

$ pip install aiohttp-sse

Example

import asyncio
from datetime import datetime

from aiohttp import web

from aiohttp_sse import sse_response


async def hello(request: web.Request) -> web.StreamResponse:
    async with sse_response(request) as resp:
        while resp.is_connected():
            time_dict = {"time": f"Server Time : {datetime.now()}"}
            data = json.dumps(time_dict, indent=2)
            print(data)
            await resp.send(data)
            await asyncio.sleep(1)
    return resp


async def index(_request: web.Request) -> web.StreamResponse:
    html = """
        <html>

                    eventSource.addEventListener("message", event => {
                        document.getElementById("response").innerText = event.data;
                    });
                </script>
