SocketServer

Constructor

new SocketServer()

Defines a SocketServer around a socket.io server.

Creating a server using socket.io can't be done without launching the server and start listening to messages. SocketServer helps creating a socket server and add namespaces to it without starting the server.

Example

var openVeoApi = require('@openveo/api');
var namespace1 = new openVeoApi.socket.SocketNamespace();
var namespace2 = new openVeoApi.socket.SocketNamespace();
var server = new openVeoApi.socket.SocketServer();

// Listen to a message on first namespace
namespace1.on('namespace1.message', function() {
  console.log('namespace1.message received');
});

// Listen to a message on second namespace
namespace2.on('namespace2.message', function() {
  console.log('namespace2.message received');
});

// Add namespace1 to the server
server.addNamespace('/namespace1', namespace1);

// Start server
server.listen(80, function() {
  console.log('Socket server started');
  namespace.emit('namespace1.message');

  // Adding a namespace after the server is started will also work
  server.addNamespace('/namespace2', namespace2);
  namespace2.emit('namespace2.message');
});
