Welcome to the Real-Time Features section of our Developer Documentation. Here, you will find information on how to leverage our real-time capabilities to enhance your applications.

Overview

Our real-time features allow you to build dynamic, responsive applications that can handle high volumes of data and interactions. With real-time updates, you can provide a seamless experience for your users, ensuring they always have the most up-to-date information.

Key Features

  • WebSockets: Use WebSockets to establish a persistent connection between the server and the client, enabling real-time data exchange.
  • Server-Sent Events (SSE): Implement SSE to push updates from the server to the client, without the need for the client to constantly poll for updates.
  • Long Polling: Utilize long polling to periodically check for updates on the server, reducing the load on both the server and the client.

Getting Started

To get started with real-time features, follow these steps:

  1. Set up your development environment with the necessary tools and libraries.
  2. Create a WebSocket connection to establish a persistent connection between your application and the server.
  3. Send and receive data using the WebSocket connection.

Example

Here's a simple example of how to send a message from the client to the server using WebSockets:

const socket = new WebSocket('wss://yourserver.com/socket');

socket.onopen = function(event) {
  socket.send('Hello, server!');
};

socket.onmessage = function(event) {
  console.log('Message from server:', event.data);
};

socket.onerror = function(error) {
  console.error('WebSocket Error:', error);
};

socket.onclose = function(event) {
  console.log('WebSocket connection closed:', event);
};
