sails-socket v1.1.0

Sails Socket

A Promise-based implementation of Sails Socket library inspired by axios.

Install

simply install it with node or yarn:

npm install sails-socket

Usage

You have to provide socket url to the connect method and you're off to go.

import SailsSocket from 'sails-socket'
...

SailsSocket.connect('http://your-socket-server/');
SailsSocket.get('/hello').then(function(jwr) {
  console.log(jwr.body);
}).catch(function(jwr) {
  console.log(jwr.error);
})

API

The implemented methods are: connect, disconnect, get, post, put, delete, request, on, off, setHeader

connect

It has to be called before using any other functions, it would throw an error if there was already another socket connection.

const initializeParams = {url: 'http://sails-server.com/'}
socket = SailsSocket.connect(initializeParams)

initializeParams can be any sails configuration option as an objec like url, transports, headers and etc. see sails documentations for more details. it returns the created socket. although it can be accessible later via static SailsSocket.activeSocket property.

disconnect

it disconnects current active socket.

SailsSocket.disconnect()

get

it sends a get request corresponding to io.socket.get() and returns a promise.

SailsSocket.get(url, data)

post

it sends a post request corresponding to io.socket.post() and returns a promise.

SailsSocket.post(url, data)

put

it sends a put request corresponding to io.socket.put() and returns a promise.

SailsSocket.put(url, data)

delete

it sends a delete request corresponding to io.socket.delete() and returns a promise.

SailsSocket.delete(url, data)

request

it sends a customizable request corresponding to io.socket.request() and returns a promise.

SailsSocket.request(options)

on

it starts listening for server-sent events from Sails with specified eventIdentity corresponding to io.socket.on().

SailsSocket.on(url, callback)

off
