SignalR.EventStream

SignalR.EventStream was born out of a desire to monitor my websites for activities that I was interested in. User signups, logins, errors, anything really. SignalR from David Fowler and Damian Edwards has made that nice and easy.

Usage

Here's a sample on how to use EventStream to send events to authorized users.

public class HomeController 
{

	public IEventStream eventStream;

	//Dependency Injection
	public HomeController(IEventStream stream) 
	{
		eventStream = stream;
	}

	//No Dependency Injection
	public HomeController() : this(new EventStream())
	{
	}

	public ActionResult Login() 
	{
		stream.Send("User has logged in.");

		return View();
	}

	public ActionResult Purchase() 
	{
		stream.Send(new PurchaseObject { 
			Name = "Some product",
			Price = 99.99,
			Quantity = 23
		});

		return View();
	}

	public ActionResult StreamAnonymous() 
	{
		stream.Send("error", new {
			Error = "This is an error - or something",
			Description = "Someone has attempted to stream an anonymous object",
			Details = "This is ok, but for anonymous objects you must pass a 'type'"
		});				

		return View();
	}
}
