Namespaces - ArtFXDev/silex-socket-service GitHub Wiki

For explanation about namespace usage for Socket.io see: Socket.io/namespaces

In simple way : Namespaces in like a route for your request, to sort them.

Files Structure

📦namespaces
 ┣ 📂dcc
 ┃ ┣ 📜action.js
 ┃ ┗ 📜dcc.js
 ┗ 📂ui
 ┃ ┣ 📜action.js
 ┃ ┗ 📜ui.js

To add a new namespaces your have create a file .js under the namespaces directory of the project, in the files structure example we have 4 namespaces:

• /dcc
• /dcc/action
• /ui
• /ui/action

Code example

const ui = (io) => {
  return io.of("/ui")
}

module.exports = ui

this will simply return the output object of io.of("/ui")

Usage:

// listeners/dcc.js

/** NAMEPSACE  */
const dccNamespace = require("../namespaces/dcc/dcc")              <== Import Here
const dccActionNamespace = require("../namespaces/dcc/action")


module.exports = function (io) {
  dccNamespace(io).on("connection", function (socket) {            <== Use Here
    dccRoomJoin(socket)
    ...

side client for Namespace connection: clientDcc = new Client(http://localhost:${port}/dcc)
