@rubriclab/events

@rubriclab/events

This Events package gives you a type-safe, Redis-backed pub/sub layer that streams events from your server to the browser over Server-Sent Events (SSE).

It is part of Rubric's architecture for Generative UI when used with:

• @rubriclab/actions
• @rubriclab/blocks
• @rubriclab/chains
• @rubriclab/agents

Demo

Get Started

Installation

bun add @rubriclab/events

@rubriclab scope packages are not built, they are all raw Typescript. If using in a Next.js app, make sure to transpile:

// next.config.ts
import type { NextConfig } from  'next' 
export default {
	transpilePackages: ['@rubriclab/events'],
	reactStrictMode: true
} satisfies  NextConfig

If using inside the monorepo (@rubric), simply add {"@rubriclab/events": "*"} to dependencies and then run bun i

Define Event types

export const eventTypes = createEventTypes({
  ping: z.literal('ping'),
})

Create the events server and a route

import { createEventsServer } from '@rubriclab/events/server'
import env from '~/env'
import { eventTypes } from './types'

export const { publish, GET, maxDuration } = createEventsServer({
	eventTypes,
	redisURL: env.UPSTASH_REDIS_URL
})

// app/api/events/route.ts
export { GET, maxDuration } from './server'

Create the events client

import { createEventsClient } from '@rubriclab/events/client'
import { eventTypes } from './types'

export const { useEvents } = createEventsClient({
	url: '/api/events', // The url of the server
	eventTypes
})

Publish an event from the server

await publish({
  channel: '123',
  eventType: 'ping',
  payload: 'ping'
})

Consume it on the client!

useEvents({
		id: '123',
		on: {
			ping: (payload) => {
				console.log('ping', payload)
			}
		}
	})

Commits to main will automatically publish a new version to npm.
