node-sse-writer
==================

> Creates a text/event-stream stream as specified by the WD-eventsource W3C recommendation

Installation
------------

npm install --save sse-writer

Usage
-----

```javascript
var SSE = require('sse-writer')
var sse = new SSE()

sse.retry('1 hour')
   .comment('comment this!')
   .event('Hello')
   .event('add', 'Floby')
   .event(8000, 'remove', 'Floby')
   .end()

sse.pipe(process.stdout)
```

results in the following stream

```
retry: 3600000

: comment this!
data: Hello

event: add
data: Floby

id: 8000
event: remove
data: Floby

```

Note that use can also provide a hash to `.event()`
```
sse.event({
  id: 8000,
  name: 'remove',
  data: 'Floby'
})
```

You can also use the raw stream.Writable interface (if you're piping
from somewhere else for example)

```javascript
var SSE = require('sse-writer');
var sse = SSE();

sse.write(SSE.Comment('comment this!'))
sse.write('Hello')
sse.write(['add', 'Floby'])
sse.write([8000, 'remove', 'Floby'])
sse.end();
```

Server example
--------------

You can use `sse-writer` in your web server as a regular
middleware. Here with express:

```javascript
var app = express()

app.use('/my/feed', function (req, res) {
  var sse = new SSE()
  sse.pipe(res)
  sse.comment('hey!')
     .event('add', 'Floby')

setTimeout(function () {
    sse.event('some time later')
  }, 10000)
})
```

If you pipe to a http response object which has a `setHeader(name, value)` method, it will
call `response.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/event-stream')` for you.

Test
----

You can run the tests with `npm test`. You will need to know [mocha][mocha-url]
