A Raku client for Server-Sent Events
use EventSource::Client;
react {
whenever EventSource::Client.new(source => "http://127.0.0.1:7798/") -> $event {
say "> " ~ $event.data;
}
}
Server-Sent Events provide a mechanism for timely delivery of server to client events over HTTP and can in some use-cases be more convenient than a similar pattern implemented using Web Sockets and is easier on the network than, for instance, HTTP polling by the client.
This library allows you to consume server sent events in a Raku program in a reasonably idiomatic and reactive fashion.
Assuming you have a working Rakudo installation then you should be able to
install this with zef
:
zef install EventSource::Client
# Or from a local clone
zef install .
