Server Sent Events for Starlette and FastAPI
Background: https://sysid.github.io/sse/
Installation:
pip install sse-starlette
Usage:
import asyncio
import uvicorn
from starlette.applications import Starlette
from starlette.routing import Route
from sse_starlette.sse import EventSourceResponse
async def numbers(minimum, maximum):
for i in range(minimum, maximum + 1):
await asyncio.sleep(0.9)
yield dict(data=i)
async def sse(request):
generator = numbers(1, 5)
return EventSourceResponse(generator)
routes = [
Route("/", endpoint=sse)
]
app = Starlette(debug=True, routes=routes)
if __name__ == "__main__":
uvicorn.run(app, host="0.0.0.0", port=8000, log_level='info')
Output:
Caveat: SSE streaming does not work in combination with GZipMiddleware.
Be aware that for proper server shutdown your application must stop all
running tasks (generators). Otherwise you might experience the following warnings
at shutdown: Waiting for background tasks to complete. (CTRL+C to force quit).
Client disconnects need to be handled in your Request handler (see example.py):
async def endless(req: Request):
async def event_publisher():
i = 0
try:
while True:
i += 1
yield dict(data=i)
await asyncio.sleep(0.2)
except asyncio.CancelledError as e:
_log.info(f"Disconnected from client (via refresh/close) {req.client}")
# Do any other cleanup, if any
raise e
return EventSourceResponse(event_publisher())
Run the tests:
make test
Special use cases
Fan out Proxies
Fan out proxies usually rely on response being cacheable. To support that, you can set the value of Cache-Control.
For example:
return EventSourceResponse(
generator(), headers={"Cache-Control": "public, max-age=29"}
)
