I implemented server-sent events to receive messages from the server. I describe how I implemented it on another question
Now I am trying to run it inside a shared worker to prevent the user from opening multiple connections to the servers via multiple browser tabs.
Here is what I have done to run the code inside a Shared Worker
created a file calles worker.js and I put this code inside of it
self.addEventListener('getMessagingQueue', function (event) {
console.log('Listener is Available');
var thisp = this;
var eventSrc = new EventSource('poll.php');
eventSrc.addEventListener('getMessagingQueue', function (event) {
var message = JSON.parse(event.data);
thisp.postMessage(message);
}, false);
}, false);
Then when the HTML page loads I call this code
$(function(){
var worker = new SharedWorker('worker.js');
worker.addEventListener('getMessagingQueue', function (event) {
var message = event.data;
console.group('Message Received');
console.log( message );
console.groupEnd();
}, false);
});
But the code is not returning messages from the server.
How can I correctly run EventSource event inside the shared worker?
