SSE Dash

This is a simple demo application built to demonstrate how to use Server Sent Events (SSE)

The backend server is implemented in Node.js and the frontend is mostly using aura.js to provide isolated (and reusable!) widgets to connect to the different SSE endpoints. The demo currently shows connected server peers, the latest article from the NPMjs.org RSS feed and the servers current date & time, all in realtime.

Install

Simply run:

npm install .

then:

npm start

and finally open http://127.0.0.1:3000.

Or deploy to Stackato

Simply stackato push -n!
