## Subscriptions (wip)
|
||||
## Subscriptions
|
||||
Subscriptions are a way of receiving data from a source. For example when
|
||||
listening for events from a server using `SSE` or `Websockets` for a
|
||||
chat app, or when catching keyboard input for a videogame.
|
||||
|
||||
### Server Sent Events (SSE)
|
||||
[tbi] - help and suggestions welcome!
|
||||
[Server Sent Events (SSE)][sse] allow servers to push data to the browser.
|
||||
They're the unidirectional cousin of `websockets` and compliment `HTTP`
|
||||
brilliantly. To enable `SSE`, create a new `EventSource`, point it at a local
|
||||
uri (generally `/sse`) and setup a `subscription`:
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const stream = new document.EventSource('/sse')
|
||||
|
||||
app.model({
|
||||
subscriptions: [
|
||||
function (send) {
|
||||
stream.onerror = (e) => send('error', { payload: JSON.stringify(e) })
|
||||
stream.onmessage = (e) => send('print', { payload: e.data })
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
effects: {
|
||||
'sse:close': () => stream.close()
|
||||
error: (state, event_ => console.error(`error: ${event.payload}`)),
|
||||
print: (state, event) => console.log(`pressed key num: ${event.payload}`)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Keyboard
|
||||
[tbi] - help and suggestions welcome!
|
||||
Most browsers have [basic support for keyboard events][keyboard-support]. To
|
||||
capture keyboard events, setup a `subscription`:
|
||||
```js
|
||||
app.model({
|
||||
subscriptions: [
|
||||
function (send) {
|
||||
keyboard.onkeypress = (e) => send('print', { payload: e.keyCode })
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
effects: {
|
||||
print: (state, event) => console.log(`pressed key num: ${event.payload}`)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Websockets
|
||||
[tbi] - help and suggestions welcome!
|
||||
### WebSockets
|
||||
[WebSockets][ws] allow for bidirectional communication between servers and
|
||||
browsers:
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const socket = new document.WebSocket('ws://localhost:8081')
|
||||
|
||||
app.model({
|
||||
subscriptions: [
|
||||
function (send) {
|
||||
socket.onerror = (e) => send('error', { payload: JSON.stringify(e) })
|
||||
socket.onmessage = (e) => send('print', { payload: e.data })
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
effects: {
|
||||
'ws:close': () => socket.close(),
|
||||
'ws:send': (state, event) => socket.send(JSON.stringify(event.payload)),
|
||||
error: (state, event_ => console.error(`error: ${event.payload}`)),
