EventSource: message event - Web APIs 编辑

The message event of the EventSource API is fired when data is received through an event source.

Examples

In this basic example, an EventSource is created to receive events from the server; a page with the name sse.php is responsible for generating the events.

var evtSource = new EventSource('sse.php');
var eventList = document.querySelector('ul');

evtSource.addEventListener('message', (e) => {
  var newElement = document.createElement("li");

  newElement.textContent = "message: " + e.data;
  eventList.appendChild(newElement);
});

onmessage equivalent

evtSource.onmessage = (e) => {
  var newElement = document.createElement("li");

  newElement.textContent = "message: " + e.data;
  eventList.appendChild(newElement);
};
