@graphile-contrib/graphql-sse

PostGraphile support for GraphQL over Server-Sent Events (SSE) powered by graphql-sse.

• Doesn't mess with the schema update stream on eventSourceRoute, both can exist on the same route
• PUT and DELETE methods are allowed through CORS on the eventSourceRoute in order to support the "single connection mode"
• The client can use the X-GraphQL-Event-Stream header for SSE endpoint discovery
