trigger-realtime

triggerdotdevby triggerdotdev5 months ago31

Trigger.dev client/frontend surface: subscribe to runs in realtime (runs.subscribeToRun and the @trigger.dev/react-hooks hook useRealtimeRun), consume metadata and AI/text streams in React (useRealtimeStream), trigger tasks from the browser (useTaskTrigger, useRealtimeTaskTrigger), and mint scoped frontend credentials with auth.createPublicToken / auth.createTriggerPublicToken. Load when wiring a frontend (React/Next.js/Remix) or backend-for-frontend to show live run progress, status badges, token streams, trigger buttons, or wait-token approval UIs. NOT for writing the backend task itself (streams.define / metadata.set is trigger-tasks territory); this is the consumer side.
