Laravel streaming hooks for Vue
npm install @laravel/stream-vueEasily consume streams in your Vue application.
``bash`
npm install @laravel/stream-vue
> [!IMPORTANT]
> The useStream hook is currently in Beta, the API is subject to change prior to the v1.0.0 release. All notable changes will be documented in the changelog.
The useStream hook allows you to seamlessly consume streamed responses in your Vue application.
Provide your stream URL and the hook will automatically update data with the concatenated response as data is returned from your server:
`vue
{{ data }}
Connecting...
Generating...
`
When sending data back to the stream, the active connection to the stream is canceled before sending the new data. All requests are sent as JSON POST requests.
The second argument given to useStream is an options object that you may use to customize the stream consumption behavior:
`ts`
type StreamOptions = {
id?: string;
initialInput?: Record
headers?: Record
csrfToken?: string;
json?: boolean;
credentials?: RequestCredentials;
onResponse?: (response: Response) => void;
onData?: (data: string) => void;
onCancel?: () => void;
onFinish?: () => void;
onError?: (error: Error) => void;
onBeforeSend?: (request: RequestInit) => boolean | RequestInit | void;
};
onResponse is triggered after a successful initial response from the stream and the raw Response is passed to the callback.
onData is called as each chunk is received, the current chunk is passed to the callback.
onFinish is called when a stream has finished and when an error is thrown during the fetch/read cycle.
onBeforeSend is called right before sending the request to the server and receives the RequestInit object as an argument. Returning false from this callback cancels the request, returning a RequestInit object will override the existing RequestInit object.
By default, a request is not made the to stream on initialization. You may pass an initial payload to the stream by using the initialInput option:
`vue
{{ data }}
`
To cancel a stream manually, you may use the cancel method returned from the hook:
`vue
{{ data }}
`
Each time the useStream hook is used, a random id is generated to identify the stream. This is sent back to the server with each request in the X-STREAM-ID header.
When consuming the same stream from multiple components, you can read and write to the stream by providing your own id:
`vue
{{ data }}
`
`vue
Connecting...
Generating...
`
The useJsonStream hook is identical to the useStream hook except that it will attempt to parse the data as JSON once it has finished streaming:
`vue
{{ user.id }}: {{ user.name }}
`
The useEventStream hook allows you to seamlessly consume Server-Sent Events (SSE) in your Vue application.
Provide your stream URL and the hook will automatically update the message with the concatenated response as messages are returned from your server:
`vue
{{ message }}
`
You also have access to the array of message parts:
`vue
{{ message }}
`
If you'd like to listen to multiple events:
`vue`
The second parameter is an options object where all properties are optional (defaults are shown below):
`vue`
You can close the connection manually by using the returned close function:
`vue
{{ message }}
`
The clearMessage function may be used to clear the message content that has been received so far:
`vue
{{ message }}
