Centrifuge v0.16.0 now supports unidirectional transports for real-time messaging updates such as unidirectional GRPC stream, EventSource(SSE), Fetch Readable Stream

• Socket.io

  825 60,085 7.8 TypeScript

  Realtime application framework (Node.JS server)

  

  There were lots of other various improvements in latest releases - for example possibility to iterate over channel history from a client-side to manually recover missed messages. Also various cluster improvements. Survey method to get data from all running nodes. And many more actually. Take a look if you are looking for socket.io analogue/replacement for Go language. Library Readme has a lot of information to start with. Happy to answer questions.

  With Centrifuge v0.16.0 it's now possible to use a bunch of unidirectional transports for cases where bidirectional communication not really needed. New release includes several examples for unidirectional GRPC stream, EventSource, Fetch Readable Stream (all links in release notes) and even unidirectional WebSocket (ha-ha!). Previously I could not find a good way to fit this into Centrifuge protocol – now I think I found a pretty elegant solution. I believe this could give developers more choice especially for simple use cases without frequent dynamic subscriptions/unsubscriptions (though with new API it's possible to subscribe/unsubscribe specific client cluster-wide). The additional beauty of unidirectional approach is that it does not really require using specific Centrifuge libraries for different environments (since bidirectional communication is pretty hard to use without extra library on top of client-server framing protocol) - just use native browser APIs or GRPC-generated code to connect and receive real-time updates.
