Steaming Example (Next.js 13)

Heres an example if you are using NextJS 13/React: Backend (/api/completions/chat/route.ts): 
import {
  createParser,
  ParsedEvent,
  ReconnectInterval,
} from "eventsource-parser";

export async function POST(request: Request) {
const body = await request.json();
  const encoder = new TextEncoder();
  const decoder = new TextDecoder();
const res = await fetch("https://app.baseplate.ai/api/endpoints/${endpoint-id}/completions", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.BASEPLATE_API_KEY}`,
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      messages: body.messages,
      stream: true,
    }),
  });
  const stream = new ReadableStream({
    async start(controller) {
      // callback
      function onParse(event: ParsedEvent | ReconnectInterval) {
        if (event.type === "event") {
          const data = event.data;
          // https://beta.openai.com/docs/api-reference/completions/create#completions/create-stream
          if (data === "[DONE]") {
            controller.close();
            return;
          }
          try {
            const json = JSON.parse(data);
            const text =
              json.choices[0].delta?.content || json.choices[0].text || "";
            const queue = encoder.encode(text);
            controller.enqueue(queue);
          } catch (e) {
            // maybe parse error
            controller.error(e);
          }
        }
      }

      // stream response (SSE) from OpenAI may be fragmented into multiple chunks
      // this ensures we properly read chunks and invoke an event for each SSE event stream
      const parser = createParser(onParse);
      // https://web.dev/streams/#asynchronous-iteration
      for await (const chunk of res.body as any) {
        parser.feed(decoder.decode(chunk));
      }
    },
  });
  return new Response(stream);
}
Front end (inside some function): 
try {
      res = await fetch(`/api/completions/chat`, {
        method: "POST",
        headers: {
          "Content-Type": "application/json",
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({
          messages: [{role: "user", content: "Hello"}],
        }),
      }).catch((err) => {
        throw err;
      });
    } catch (e: any) {
      console.error(e);
      return;
    }
    setGenerating(false);
    if (!res.ok) {
      const error = await res.json();
      console.error(`Error generating: ${error.message}`);
      return;
    }
    const stream = res.body;
    if (!stream) {
      return;
    }
    const reader = stream.getReader();
    const decoder = new TextDecoder();
    let done = false;
    while (!done) {
      const { value, done: doneReading } = await reader.read();
      done = doneReading;
      const chunkValue = decoder.decode(value);
      console.log(chunkValue);
    }
