Real-Time Backend Check with Nuxt 3 and SSE

This project demonstrates how to implement real-time backend checks in a Nuxt 3 application using Server-Sent Events (SSE) and cron jobs. The backend regularly checks for updates using a cron job and pushes the updates to all connected clients via SSE in real time.

Features

• Server-Sent Events (SSE): Clients receive real-time updates from the backend.
• Cron Job Integration: The backend performs regular checks (every minute) using a cron job and updates all connected clients.
• Vue 3 Frontend: The frontend listens for real-time data updates and displays them to the user.
• Nuxt 3: The project leverages Nuxt 3's capabilities for server-side and client-side rendering.

Technologies Used

• Nuxt 3: A modern framework for building Vue.js applications.
• Server-Sent Events (SSE): A technology used for pushing updates from the server to the client in real-time.
• Cron Jobs: Used to schedule regular backend checks.
