I was trying to write a simple server sent events example with opine. Ideally the TCP connection for the HTTP request should be open and server should be able to write data chunk to the response stream. Once the whole data is sent or client is disconnected, connection should be closed.
app.get("/server-sent-events", (req: OpineRequest, res: OpineResponse) => {
res.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/event-stream");
res.setHeader('Cache-control', 'no-cache');
res.setHeader('Connection', 'keep-alive');
res.setHeader("Transfer-Encoding", "chunked");
res.send(`data: ${currentData}\n\n`);
});
res.send will close the connection after this data is sent to the user. I wanted to use res.write, but It isn't present in opine. How do I implement this with opine? Below is a similar example for express.
app.get("/server-sent-events", (req, res) => {
res.header("Content-Type", "text/event-stream");
res.header('Cache-control', 'no-cache');
res.header('Connection', 'keep-alive');
res.header("Transfer-Encoding", "chunked");
res.write(`data: ${currentData}\n\n`);
});
