Extension that simplifies notifying connected clients about collection-data changes, and also supports external change notifications.

Usage

Commands avaliable from client:

• directus.registerChangeListener - register change notifications
• directus.unRegisterChangeListener - unregister change notifications
• directus.externalModification - notify external change (you need to send data as {collection,action,id})

Example of usage:

const directusSdk = await this.parent.getDirectusSdk();
directusSdk.onWebSocket("message", (ev) =>
{
  if (ev?.type == "directus.dataChanged")
  {
    console.log(`Directus: Data ${ev.action} - ${ev.collection}:${ev.id}. Cache cleared.`);
    this.clearCache();
  }
});
directusSdk.sendMessage({ type: "directus.registerChangeListener" });
