chronos-stream

Stream activity objects about a topic from Livefyre's Chronos Service. Behind the scenes, this will lazily request pages of data over HTTP.

This module is intended to work in both node.js and the browser (via browserify). Run make dist to put the browser bundle in dist/.

var ChronosStream = require('chronos-stream');
var activities = new ChronosStream('urn:livefyre:livefyre.com:site=290596:collection=2486485:SiteStream');

activities.on('error', function (e) {
    console.error("Error streaming activities", e);
});

activities.on('data', function (activity) {
    console.log('activity', activity);    
});

activities.on('end', function () {
    console.log('done streaming activities from chronos');    
});

    environment: 'uat'
});
