Introducing realtime REST events

by Jon Erik Solheim

A brand new feature of restdb.io is support for really simple realtime messaging.

Now, with only a few lines of code, you can update web pages dynamically whenever some data are created, updated or deleted in your database (POST,PUT,DELETE). We have also added custom events, so you can for example publish "GOAL" events or whatever.

We have created a demo that shows a chat application that visualises REST Data Events (PUT, POST, DELETE) and the executing code block. To get started yourself, create a new database, read the docs and look at the Github code example.

The live demo can be found here

https://realtimedemo-7c18.restdb.io/public/chat

Send a link to this page to your team/friends, start chatting, and watch the events propagate!

The code can be found here on Github.

Restdb.io uses server side events together with Javascript EventSource API and Ajax/CORS so that any application/platform and web page can connect. The demo is hosted by a restdb.io public Page, served directly from a restdb.io database.
