Salesforce Streaming API Functionality about forrest HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi @tabirkeland,

I would love to eventually incorporate the Streaming API into this project. However, lately I've been a little pre-occupied with some other projects. So not sure when my timeframe would be to have this developed.

If you'd like, feel free to give it a crack and I'll be happy to provide some guidance. Forrest is leveraging the Guzzle library for HTTP requests. Looks like they have some good documentation on using streaming request: http://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/latest/request-options.html#stream

@omniphx Sounds great, I have been busy as well so if I do have time, I would love to take a swing at it.

Thanks for your reply.

On a side note, I utilize your UserPassword flow and a great way to keep a application authenticated is by using middleware as such:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Forrest;
use Closure;

class ValidateSalesforceToken
{
    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \Closure  $next
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        // Look for the salesforce api session tokens
        if (!$request->session()->has('forrest_token')) {
            // Authenticate
            Forrest::authenticate();
        }

        return $next($request);
    }
}

No longer an issue, possibly an enhancement in the future.
