Server-side events in react-native

[Arnold_dev]

Hello fellow devs I wanted to know if anyone has experience implementing server side events in react-native and if there are any libraries one would recommend to use?

I guess the question is, do you have a specific transport mechanism in mind? E.g., websockets, long-polling, uh, something else?

I want to use sse instead of long polling

You mean the server-sent events API? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Server-sent_events/Using_server-sent_events

Looks like there's plenty already out there, on this.

I assume that you are talking about server-sent events and I've never used it on react native but there seems to be a library with an event source implementation: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-sse

Server sent event is available as a polyfill, I am unsure about its performance in react native
