ssestream-no-cache-transform

Note this is a direct fork of node-SseStream. It just changes the header that the server uses for caching.

More info on this change:

The header 'Cache-Control': 'no-transform' is needed for proxies that interfere with the request (such as caching). This was the case with the create-react-app, when proxying requests to the dev-server backend to your real backend. See this issue: https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/1633#issuecomment-291353470 . Maybe this header isn't always desired, but I didn't know a good way to make this configurable other than passing a 3rd argument to this pipe function, or maybe an extra parameter to the constructor allowing users to overwrite some of these headers if they want.

SseStream

const SseStream = require('ssestream-no-cache-transform')
 
function (req, res) {
  const sse = new SseStream(req)
  sse.pipe(res)
 
  const message = {
    data: 'hello\nworld',
  }
  sse.write(message)
}
