Can I use EventSource API in Appery?

[Aeneas McBurney]

I want to implement a server side script to push database updates from a message table to the client. Is this possible with Appery?

Any updates on this?

Hello Aeneas,

Sorry for the radio silence here, we're investigating this question and will get back to you with the update.

Hello Aeneas,

Do you want to use that library in the Server code or inside of the app?
We are very sorry, but custom logic/libraries is something outside the scope (http://devcenter.appery.io/support-po...) of our support. Please check it by yourself,

I want to be able to push database events to the client without using polling. Is this possible with Appery?

[Serhii Kulibaba]

Unfortunatelly, it is impossible.

Is this something developers can look at incorporating as there is no way to write a messaging app otherwise?

[Alena Prykhodko]

Hello Aeneas,

You can write code to take advantage of EventSource API. We currently don't have any out-of-the-box visual tools for that.

Also you can try to use short polling.

We'll pass this idea to our management.
