Realtime Event Subscriptions

When to use this skill

• Live notifications.
• Updating tour availability in real-time.
• Chat or support features.

Workflow

• Identify the channel: databases.[DB_ID].collections.[COLL_ID].documents.
• Use client.subscribe(channel, callback).
• Handle cleanup in useEffect return.

Syntax (Verified via Context7)

const unsubscribe = client.subscribe(
    'databases.tourly_db.collections.bookings.documents',
    (response) => {
        // Handle: .create, .update, .delete
    }
);

Instructions

• Payload Handling: Inspect response.payload for the updated document data.
• Scope: Keep subscriptions specific to the current page to avoid memory leaks.
