This library allows to manipulate the [EventSource](http://w3.org/TR/eventsource/) (aka Server-Sent Events) technology by creating a server.

[Learn more](https://central.hoa-project.net/Documentation/Library/Eventsource).

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

[](#installation)

With [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/), to include this library into your dependencies, you need to require [`hoa/eventsource`](https://packagist.org/packages/hoa/eventsource):

```
$ composer require hoa/eventsource '~3.0'
```

For more installation procedures, please read [the Source page](https://hoa-project.net/Source.html).

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

Before running the test suites, the development dependencies must be installed:

```
$ composer install
```

Then, to run all the test suites:

```
$ vendor/bin/hoa test:run
```

For more information, please read the [contributor guide](https://hoa-project.net/Literature/Contributor/Guide.html).

Quick usage
-----------

[](#quick-usage)

We propose as a quick overview to send an unlimited number of events from the server to the client. The client will display all received events. Thus, in `Server.php`:

```
$server = new Hoa\Eventsource\Server();

while (true) {
    // “tick” is the event name.
    $server->tick->send(time());
    sleep(1);
}
```

And in `index.html`, our client:

```

var output = document.getElementById('output');

try {
    var source    = new EventSource('Server.php');
    source.onopen = function () {
        output.appendChild(document.createElement('hr'));

        return;
    };
    source.addEventListener('tick', function (evt) {
        var samp       = document.createElement('samp');
        samp.innerHTML = evt.data + '\n';
        output.appendChild(samp);

        return;
    });
} catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
}

```

Start your HTTP server and then open `index.html`.

The `Hoa\Eventsource\Server::setReconnectionTime` method allows to redefine the time before the client will reconnect after a disconnection. The `Hoa\Eventsource\Server::getLastId` method allows to retrieve the last ID sent to the client.

The following awecodes show this library in action:

- [`Hoa\Eventsource`](http://hoa-project.net/Awecode/Eventsource.html): *why and how to use `Hoa\Eventsource\Server`? A simple and daily useful example will illustrate the EventSource technology (or Server-Send Events)*.

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

The [hack book of `Hoa\Eventsource`](https://central.hoa-project.net/Documentation/Library/Eventsource) contains detailed information about how to use this library and how it works.

To generate the documentation locally, execute the following commands:

```
$ composer require --dev hoa/devtools
$ vendor/bin/hoa devtools:documentation --open
```
