In my server I had to var io = require(‘socket.io’)(httpServer, {path: ‘/mysubdir/socket.io’})` In my client I had to <script src=”http://www.example.com/mysubdir/socket.io/socket.io.js”></script> and also var socket = io.connect(‘http://www.example.com’, {path: “/mysubdir/socket.io”});`
The trick is to plug ‘socket.io’ into the http server only once, so checking every access to the api. Try something like this: ./pages/api/socketio.js import { Server } from ‘socket.io’ const ioHandler = (req, res) => { if (!res.socket.server.io) { console.log(‘*First use, starting socket.io’) const io = new Server(res.socket.server) io.on(‘connection’, socket => { socket.broadcast.emit(‘a user … Read more
As of Socket.io version 1, resource has been replaced by path. Use : var socket = io(‘http://localhost’, {path: ‘/nodejs/socket.io’}); See: http://blog.seafuj.com/migrating-to-socketio-1-0
This is all pretty straightforward with the socket.io rooms feature. Take a look at the documentation on LearnBoost wiki. https://github.com/LearnBoost/socket.io/wiki/Rooms It allows for being connected to multiple rooms over a single socket. I put together a quick test with the following code. Server io.sockets.on(‘connection’, function(client){ client.on(‘subscribe’, function(room) { console.log(‘joining room’, room); client.join(room); }) client.on(‘unsubscribe’, function(room) … Read more
In socket.io 1.0 they provide a better way for this. Each socket automatically joins a default room by self id. Check documents: http://socket.io/docs/rooms-and-namespaces/#default-room So you can emit to a socket by id with following code: io.to(socketid).emit(‘message’, ‘for your eyes only’);
Edit: This is now possible You can now simply call socket.disconnect() on the server side. My original answer: This is not possible yet. If you need it as well, vote/comment on this issue.
