Local Projects node-eventsource-http2 Fork

Overview

Forked from capturetechnologies/node-eventsource-http2 with modifications merged from bobheadlabs/node-eventsource-http2.

Modifications

Modified to implement a few missing constructor options from the eventsource package on which this library was modeled:

Additional constructor option parameters include:

• ca: string | Buffer | Array<string | Buffer> | undefined;
  Pass a certificate to optionally override the trusted CA certificates.

  Example:

  // Specify a trusted certificate authority
  const sse = new EventSource('https://example.com', { ca: fs.readFileSync("./ca.crt") });

• rejectUnauthorized: boolean
  Allow connections even with an invalid certificate . The HTTP2 documentation asserts that this option only applies to servers, but testing indicates that it has an affect on clients as well. This is unsafe and should not be used in production (or possibly ever).

  Example:

  // Connects to servers with self-signed certificates, unsafe in production
  const sse = new EventSource('https://example.com', { rejectUnathorized: false });

Original Readme:

why

Eventsource nodejs client https://github.com/EventSource/eventsource doesn't support http/2.

This package fixes it build on top of http2, so it fully supports it

install

npm install node-eventsource-http2

usage

Spec

const EventSource = require('node-eventsource')
const sse = new EventSource('your.endpoint/sse');
sse.addEventListener('type', (event) => {
  // your code goes here
})
