Hoa is a modular, extensible and structured set of PHP libraries.

Hoa\Eventsource

Help on IRC Help on Gitter Documentation Board

This library allows to manipulate the EventSource (aka Server-Sent Events) technology by creating a server.

Learn more.

Installation

With Composer, to include this library into your dependencies, you need to require hoa/eventsource:

$ composer require hoa/eventsource '~3.0'

For more installation procedures, please read the Source page.

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.

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:

<pre id="output"></pre>
<script>
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);
}
</script>

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.

Documentation
