Create the necessary tooling to listen to metadata events and plug it to
the front components. Now we have a hot reload like experience when we
edit a component in an app.
## Backend
- Split `EventWithQueryIds` into `ObjectRecordEventWithQueryIds` and
`MetadataEventWithQueryIds`
- Publish metadata event batches to active SSE streams in
`MetadataEventsToDbListener`
## Frontend
- Create a metadata event dispatching pipeline: SSE metadata events are
grouped by metadata name, transformed into
`MetadataOperationBrowserEventDetail` objects, and dispatched as browser
`CustomEvents`
- Add `useListenToMetadataOperationBrowserEvent` hook for consuming
metadata operation events filtered by metadata name and operation type
- Rename `useListenToObjectRecordEventsForQuery` to
`useListenToEventsForQuery`, now accepting both
`RecordGqlOperationSignature` and `MetadataGqlOperationSignature`
- Implement `useOnFrontComponentUpdated` which subscribes to front
component metadata events and updates the Apollo cache when the
component is modified
- Add `builtComponentChecksum` to the front component query and appends
it to the component URL for browser cache invalidation
- new channel EVENT_STREAM_CHANNEL based on event stream id
- on event, perform the matching and publish only to the right streams
- store a list of active streams per workspace
- store the user id along with the queries for each stream
Bonus:
- remove onSubscriptionMatch
This PR is a follow-up of https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/16966
and implements a new mechanism to handle SSE events.
It creates only one event stream per browser tab, then use mutations to
tell the backend which query to listen to, without re-mounting the event
stream connexion.
Then each event that comes from this unique subscription is then
dispatched in a new JavaScript CustomEvent, per queryId, on which
specific hooks add an event listener.
This PR introduces the generic tooling as well as the handling of update
events on table.
- moved a few gql types to twenty shared to re-use in server
- added a new endpoint, onEventSubscription that expect a streamId to
create a connection
- two new endpoints to store queries in Redis
- updated the existing batch channel to directly use object record type
related to https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/601
## Done
- add a `onDbEvent` `Subscription` graphql endpoint to listen to
database_event using what we have done with webhooks:
- you can subscribe to any `action` (created, updated, ...) for any
`objectNameSingular` or a specific `recordId`. Parameters are nullable
and treated as wildcards when null.
- returns events with following shape
```typescript
@Field(() => String)
eventId: string;
@Field()
emittedAt: string;
@Field(() => DatabaseEventAction)
action: DatabaseEventAction;
@Field(() => String)
objectNameSingular: string;
@Field(() => GraphQLJSON)
record: ObjectRecord;
@Field(() => [String], { nullable: true })
updatedFields?: string[];
```
- front provide a componentEffect `<ListenRecordUpdatesEffect />` that
listen for an `objectNameSingular`, a `recordId` and a list of
`listenedFields`. It subscribes to record updates and updates its apollo
cached value for specified `listenedFields`
- subscription is protected with credentials
## Result
Here is an application with `workflowRun`
