EventStream

Overview ​

EventStream sends Server-Sent Events.

Part of the http package — Node.js analog: express, cors, helmet, morgan.

EventStream is a type exported by gox. Methods on this type are documented separately.

Signature ​

go
type EventStream struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Compare: Node.js · Standard Go · gox ​

js
// Typical express, cors, helmet, morgan pattern in Node.js
go
func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    // chi or net/http
}
go
import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/http"

stream, err := http.SSE(w, r)
if err != nil {
    return err
}
stream.Send("message", "hello")

Example ​

go
import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/http"

stream, err := http.SSE(w, r)
if err != nil {
    return err
}
stream.Send("message", "hello")

Tips ​

Stack Logger, Recover, and Security middleware the way you would morgan + helmet in Express.

Standard library alternative ​

Use the standard library directly:

go
func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    // chi or net/http
}
