Using Server-Sent Events (SSE) in Capacitor 8 with Nuxt 4

Anthony Jekanyika Posted on May 31           Using Server-Sent Events (SSE) in Capacitor 8 with Nuxt 4 # sse # nuxt # vite # capacitor Using Server-Sent Events using EventSource or microsoft's popular fetchEventSource library does work in Capacitor 8 as was clearly detailed in #6582 . Special thanks to the brilliant work done by the chatboxai team for their library capacitor-stream-http and for mbmaas3-tech who forked it and updated it to support Capacitor 8 with capacitor-stream-http-v2 . This is a demostration on how to do Server-Sent Events (SSE) in Capacitor 8 using Nuxt 4 (You can achieve the same with other Vite based frameworks). Step 1 Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/jeky1950/capacitor-nuxt-sse-demo.git Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Step 2 Install packages npm Install Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Step 3 Sync the capacitor plugins npx cap sync Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Step 4 Build the static files npm run generate Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Step 5 Copy the static files to Capacitor npx cap copy Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Step 6 Open Android Studio (or Xcode if you are building for iOS) npx cap open android Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Step 7 Run the app in Android Studio (or Xcode if you are building for iOS) Step 8 Switch on the Nuxt Development Server with the public flag npx nuxi dev --public Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Make sure that the Network url on the command line output matches the url ref on line 18 in file /app/pages/index.vue App Structure On the app there are two buttons, the one on the left demonstrates the current functionality of trying the use SSE in Capacitor 8 that is detailed in #6582 . The button on the right shows SSE working with the help of capacitor-stream-http-v2 .
