/** * Provides {@linkcode ServerSentEvent} and * {@linkcode ServerSentEventStreamTarget} which provides an interface to send * server sent events to a browser using the DOM event model. * * The {@linkcode ServerSentEventStreamTarget} provides the `.asResponse()` or * `.asResponseInit()` to provide a body and headers to the client to establish * the event connection. This is accomplished by keeping a connection open to * the client by not closing the body, which allows events to be sent down the * connection and processed by the client browser. * * See more about Server-sent events on [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Server-sent_events/Using_server-sent_events) * * ## Example * * ```ts * import { * ServerSentEvent, * ServerSentEventStreamTarget, * } from "https://deno.land/std@$STD_VERSION/http/server_sent_event.ts"; * import { serve } from "https://deno.land/std@$STD_VERSION/http/server.ts"; * * await serve((request) => { * const target = new ServerSentEventStreamTarget(); * let counter = 0; * * // Sends an event every 2 seconds, incrementing the ID * const id = setInterval(() => { * const evt = new ServerSentEvent( * "message", * { data: { hello: "world" }, id: counter++ }, * ); * target.dispatchEvent(evt); * }, 2000); * * target.addEventListener("close", () => clearInterval(id)); * return target.asResponse(); * }, { port: 8000 }); * ``` * * @module */
