Mercure & API platform: auto-publish data


i have a symfony 5.0/API-platform back end project and a react/redux front project, i would like to dispatch updates(POST, PUT, DELETE) to connected clients. For that i am trying to achieve this locally on a windows 10 PC, i installed mercure, trough what i understand from the documentation so far i configured the entity and my environment variables like that:

then i run

mercure.exe --jwt-key="my-jwt" --addr=":3001" --allow-anonymous --cors-allowed-origins="*" 

everything seem to be okay because i had log messages. Right after i tried to subscribe through my client (tab console log) to mercure updates so i ran this script in browser tab console

const eventSource = new EventSource('http://localhost:3001/.well-known/mercure?topic=' + encodeURIComponent('http://localhost:8000/affectations/53'));
eventSource.onmessage = event => {
    // Will be called every time an update is published by the server
    console.log(event);
}

So far i tried to make POST/PUT/DELETE request using postman or from edge browser, the cool thing is i see that there are published updates in the mercure console here is a log example after a PUT request sent by postman:

time="2020-08-27T12:22:07+01:00" level=info msg="Mercure started" addr=":3001" protocol=http

in network tab in the browser i can notice the received updates from the back-end server (server sent events called after you trigger them from your subscribed client) but they are missing the new updated data. I don't know what i am missing, any help would be appreciated.


Solution

  • it seemed that i get no updates from mercure side, after using the debugger and depending on my project structure i changed the script to see updates coming from the hub.

    *** BACK_END_API is an environment variable and (this.props.hubURL) is coming from my redux store.

    componentDidUpdate() {
            if (this.props.hubURL) {
                const url = new URL(this.props.hubURL + `?topic=${BACK_END_API}/affectations/{id}`);
                const eventSource = new EventSource(url);
                eventSource.onmessage = (event) => {
                    const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
                    console.log(data);
                }
            }
        }
