Live Documentation

Minute-by-minute live blogging

Installation

Requirements, editions, install, and a working live blog in three steps.

Every setting, the per-field options, config/live.php and environment variables.

Writing in the composer, update types, pinning, key moments, and a post's four states.

The shipped partials, overriding them, the Twig API, craft.live, and the live-feed element.

Static JSON snapshots, sequence numbers, polling, CDNs, server-sent events and purging.

Pro. Poll liveFeed, fetch liveUpdates when the sequence moves, and scope tokens per update type.

Rebuilding snapshots, collecting garbage, and releasing scheduled updates.

Readers not updating, snapshots not written, scheduled updates that never went out, and the composer's queue.
