ServerSentEvent4Net is a Server-Sent Event implementation for ASP.Net WebApi. ServerSentEvent4Net simplifies the use of Server-Sent Events, see the sample below. You can test it live here.
##Install## ServerSentEvent4Net is available as a Nuget-package. From the Package Manager Console enter:
Install-package ServerSentEvent4Net
##How to use?## In your ApiController you can use the ServerSentEvent as a static member-variable, like this.
private static readonly Lazy<ServerSentEvent> SSE = new Lazy<ServerSentEvent>(() =>
{
var sse = new ServerSentEvent(10);
return sse;
});
Then catch the GET-requests to add a subscriber.
public HttpResponseMessage Get(HttpRequestMessage request)
{
return SSE.Value.AddSubscriber(request);
}
And to send a message to all subscribers, simply call Send.
SSE.Value.Send("My message goes here....");
For a complete sample, see the demo-project!
##Logging## ServerSentEvent4Net uses slf4net as a logging facade.
