Real-time collaboration

Activate

The feature is available as soon as the "Real-time collaboration" island is attached to the profile:

Activate

Use

The island is showing the faces of the users which did a change the last 10 minutes.

Use

If no users, or only the current user, were active the last 10 minutes, the island is not displayed.

Anyway, the feature is always available: each user must see the changes made by others with a 2 seconds delay maximum.

The loop is executing three checks in this order:

  • is there a change? if not, wait 2 seconds and start again
  • is it done by someone else? if not, wait 2 seconds and start again
  • is the change made the last 3 seconds? if not, wait 2 seconds and start again

If all three are OK, a stream is sent with the updated HTML fragments to replace.

Under the hood

We use the SSE extension of HTMX with the EventStreamResponse introduced in Symfony 7.3
