Drupal Live Update
Drupal Live Update enables modules to publish events that can update parts of a Drupal site in real-time without a full page reload. It works on shared hosting using JavaScript polling and can be extended with other push technologies. This module acts as an infrastructure layer for features like chat or custom real-time updates.
Description
Drupal Live Update provides a generic live-update layer for Drupal sites. It lets modules publish events to channels and lets browsers receive those events to update chat messages, blocks, paragraphs, views, dashboards, rendered fragments, or other page parts without a full page reload.
The module works on shared hosting through built-in JavaScript polling, so no external service is required. Push transports such as Node.js, WebSocket, Server-Sent Events, or a Go gateway can be added later by companion modules.
Live Update is designed as infrastructure for other Drupal features. Chatroom can use it as a message delivery provider, while custom modules can publish their own live events through the provided API.
