vue-socket-io v0.3.2

Vue-Socket-io (socket.io) plugin for VueJS. This is a fork of Vue-Websocket by icebob

Install

NPM

You can install it via NPM.

$ npm install vue-socket-io

Usage

Register the plugin, it will connect to /

import VueSocketIO from "vue-socket-io";
Vue.use(VueSocketIO);

or connect to other address:

Vue.use(VueSocketIO, "ws://otherserver:8080");

You can pass options too:

Vue.use(VueSocketIO, "ws://otherserver:8080", {
	reconnection: false
});

Use it in your components:

<script>
	export default {
		
		methods: {
			add() {
		  		// Emit the server side
		  		this.$socket.emit("add", { a: 5, b: 3 });    
			},
			
			get() {
		  		this.$socket.emit("get", { id: 12 }, (response) => {
					...
				});    
			}
		},

		socket: {
			// Prefix for event names
			// prefix: "/counter/",
			
			// If you set `namespace`, it will create a new socket connection to the namespace instead of `/`
			// namespace: "/counter",

			events: {

				// Similar as this.$socket.on("changed", (msg) => { ... });
				// If you set `prefix` to `/counter/`, the event name will be `/counter/changed`
				//
				changed(msg) {
					console.log("Something changed: " + msg);
				}
				
				/* common socket.io events
				connect() {
					console.log("Websocket connected to " + this.$socket.nsp);
				},

				disconnect() {
					console.log("Websocket disconnected from " + this.$socket.nsp);
				},

				error(err) {
					console.error("Websocket error!", err);
				}
				*/

			}
		}
	};
