socket.io-handshake v0.0.10

Session middleware for socket.io v1.x;

Examples

var socketSessions = require('socket.io-handshake');
var io = require('socket.io')(3000);
io.use( socketSessions() );

Using connect-redis for our session store.

var session = require('express-session');
var RedisStore = require('connect-redis')(session);
var sessionStore = new RedisStore();
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var socketHandshake = require('socket.io-handshake');

var io = require('socket.io')(3000);
io.use(socketHandshake({store: sessionStore, key:'sid', secret:'secret', parser:cookieParser()}));

To access the session data.

io.on('connection' function (sock) {
  if (!sock.handshake.session.name) {
    sock.emit('get name');
  };
  sock.on('set nama', function (name) {
    sock.handhsake.session.name = name;
    sock.handshake.session.save();
  });
});
