serverSentEventsSession

suspend fun HttpClient.serverSentEventsSession(reconnectionTime: Duration? = null, showCommentEvents: Boolean? = null, showRetryEvents: Boolean? = null, block: HttpRequestBuilder.() -> Unit): ClientSSESession(source)
suspend fun HttpClient.serverSentEventsSession(scheme: String? = null, host: String? = null, port: Int? = null, path: String? = null, reconnectionTime: Duration? = null, showCommentEvents: Boolean? = null, showRetryEvents: Boolean? = null, block: HttpRequestBuilder.() -> Unit = {}): ClientSSESession(source)
suspend fun HttpClient.serverSentEventsSession(urlString: String, reconnectionTime: Duration? = null, showCommentEvents: Boolean? = null, showRetryEvents: Boolean? = null, block: HttpRequestBuilder.() -> Unit = {}): ClientSSESession(source)

Opens a ClientSSESession to receive Server-Sent Events (SSE) from a server.

Example of usage:

val session = client.serverSentEventsSession {
url("http://localhost:8080/sse")
}
session.incoming.collect { event ->
println("Id: ${event.id}")
println("Event: ${event.event}")
println("Data: ${event.data}")
}

Parameters

reconnectionTime

The time duration to wait before attempting reconnection in case of connection loss

showCommentEvents

When enabled, events containing only comments field will be presented in the incoming flow

showRetryEvents

When enabled, retry directives (lines starting with retry:) are emitted as events

suspend fun HttpClient.serverSentEventsSession(urlString: String, deserialize: (TypeInfo, String) -> Any?, reconnectionTime: Duration? = null, showCommentEvents: Boolean? = null, showRetryEvents: Boolean? = null, block: HttpRequestBuilder.() -> Unit = {}): ClientSSESessionWithDeserialization(source)

Opens a ClientSSESessionWithDeserialization to receive Server-Sent Events (SSE) from a server with ability to deserialize the data field of the TypedServerSentEvent.

Example of usage:

val session = client.serverSentEventsSession("http://localhost:8080/sse", deserialize = { typeInfo, jsonString ->
val serializer = Json.serializersModule.serializer(typeInfo.kotlinType!!)
Json.decodeFromString(serializer, jsonString)!!
})

session.apply {
incoming.collect { event: TypedServerSentEvent<String> ->
when (event.event) {
"customer" -> {
val customer: Customer? = deserialize<Customer>(event.data)
}

"product" -> {
val product: Product? = deserialize<Product>(event.data)
}
}
}
}

Parameters

deserialize

The deserializer function to transform the data field of the TypedServerSentEvent into an object

reconnectionTime

The time duration to wait before attempting reconnection in case of connection loss

showCommentEvents

When enabled, events containing only comments field will be presented in the incoming flow

showRetryEvents

When enabled, retry directives (lines starting with retry:) are emitted as events
