README

        
# [`nu`](https://www.nushell.sh) [streaming plugin](https://www.nushell.sh/blog/2024-03-05-nushell_0_91_0.html#plugin-protocol-overhaul-toc): `nu_plugin_from_sse`

This plugin was forked from the

[nu_plugin_example](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/main/crates/nu_plugin_example/src/commands/sum.rs).

## Install with Cargo

From within nushell:

    cargo install --locked nu_plugin_from_sse

    plugin use ~/.cargo/bin/nu_plugin_from_sse

    # and then restart nu or use plugin add to activate

## Usage

`nu_plugin_from_sse` provides one command:

### `from sse`

This command transforms HTTP SSE (Server-Sent Events) into structured records with the shape:

```plaintext

{

  id: string,    // Unique identifier for the SSE event

  event: string, // Type of event

  data: string   // Data payload of the event

}

```

#### known issue: nu table buffering [#12129](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/12129)

If your SSE endpoint dispatches initial events upon connection, then

pauses—awaiting rare updates—you won't see any output until the first new

update after connecting. This behavior is due to nu's [table buffering

mechanism](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/65e5abaa3e48126ff730c9a59e5f6f55777a85bd/crates/nu-command/src/viewers/table.rs#L846-L875),

where a duration timeout is factored in only during active input processing.

An easy workaround for this issue is to pipe to

[`each`](https://www.nushell.sh/commands/docs/each.html).

#### example

Copy this text to your clipboard:

```

event: creatureAlert

id: 1

data: {"id":"uni123","type":"Unicorn","lat":45.4235,"lon":-75.6979,"urgency":"high","desc":"Injured near Crystal River."}

```

Use [`bp`](https://github.com/printfn/bp) to pipe it:

```nushell

bp | from sse | update data { from json }

````

#### live example

```nushell

http get https://ndyg.cross.stream/projects/enchanted-animal-rescue/rescue-feed |

    from sse |

    update data { from json }

```
