interface ServerSentEventTarget

implements EventTarget

import { type ServerSentEventTarget } from "https://dotland.deno.dev/x/oak@v12.2.0/deps.ts";

Properties

readonly

closed: boolean

Is set to true if events cannot be sent to the remote connection. Otherwise it is set to false.

Note: This flag is lazily set, and might not reflect a closed state until another event, comment or message is attempted to be processed.

Methods

close(): Promise<void>

Close the target, refusing to accept any more events.

dispatchComment(comment: string): boolean

Send a comment to the remote connection. Comments are not exposed to the client EventSource but are used for diagnostics and helping ensure a connection is kept alive.

import { 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();
  target.dispatchComment("this is a comment");
  return target.asResponse();
}, { port: 8000 });

dispatchMessage(data: unknown): boolean

Dispatch a message to the client. This message will contain data: only and be available on the client EventSource on the onmessage or an event listener of type "message".

dispatchEvent(event: ServerSentEvent): boolean

Dispatch a server sent event to the client. The event type will be sent as event: to the client which will be raised as a MessageEvent on the EventSource in the client.

Any local event handlers will be dispatched to first, and if the event is cancelled, it will not be sent to the client.
