"Remix Live Loader" by Alex Anderson

Like most things in Remix, realtime data comes with the platform! Server-sent Events let us pass messages from the server to connected clients, making it possible for instant updates when any user makes a change. But how can you use this to make sure every route's data is kept fresh? Enter useLiveLoader, a technique to connect Server-sent Events with useLoaderData to always keep your data fresh. With just one hook, we get the same route data loading as useLoaderData with automatic real-time updates. Let's take a peek at what realtime in Remix looks like, and how to build this kind of hook for your own app. Speaker Bio: Alex Anderson is a software engineer at Echobind, a full-service software agency.
