Overview:

The Directus Realtime Extension is designed to add realtime capabilities to your Directus app by creating a layer between your Pusher/Soketi server and your Directus app. It allows any Pusher-maintained or compatible client to connect to it, giving you total control over your channels and the ability to publish and authorize them using JavaScript that can be edited in your admin panel. The project is currently in the Alpha stage of development and is ready for use, although there may still be some kinks to work out before it is stable enough for production use.
