EventSource-tester

================================================================================

A node.js server that tests out

[w3 Server-Sent Events](http://dev.w3.org/html5/eventsource/)

aka

[SSE](http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/eventsource/basics/)

aka

[EventSource](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventSource)

.

running locally

================================================================================

* run `git clone` to get the code

* run `cd` to change directory into the code

* run `npm install` to install node dependencies

* run `node app` to start the application

* in a browser, visit the URL printed to the console when the application starts

The browser window will display events occurring around the `EventSource` it

is accessing.

running on Cloud Foundry

================================================================================

* copy `manifest-sample.yml` to `manifest.yml`

* edit `manifest.yml`, change the `host` property to something unique

* run `cf push`

* shortly after the `cf push` starts, open a new terminal and run

  `cf logs es-tester`

* in a browser, visit the URL printed to the console when the application starts

Same browser window as when running locally.

hacking

================================================================================

If you want to modify the source to play with it, you'll also want to have the

`jbuild` program installed.

To install `jbuild` on Windows, use the command

    npm -g install jbuild

To install `jbuild` on Mac or Linux, use the command

    sudo npm -g install jbuild

The `jbuild` command runs tasks defined in the `jbuild.coffee` file.  The

task you will most likely use is `watch`, which you can run with the

command:

    jbuild watch

When you run this command, the application will be built from source, the server

started, and tests run, etc.  When you subsequently edit and then save one of

the source files, the application will be re-built, the server re-started, and

the tests re-run.  For ever.  Use Ctrl-C to exit the `jbuild watch` loop.

You can run those build, server, and test tasks separately.  Run `jbuild`

with no arguments to see what tasks are available, along with a short

description of them.
