racer-socket.io

A Socket.io transport for racer. Socket.io will start a connection with ajax polling, and later upgrade to websockets where possible.

Usage

racer-socket.io needs your racer store, as well as your express cookieParser and session middlewares in order to fetch your user's sessions:

var racerSocketIo = require('racer-socket.io'),
  store = racer.createStore(),
  cookieParser = require('cookie-parser')(...),
  session = require('express-session')(...);

var attach = racerSocketIo(store, {
  cookieParser: cookieParser,
  session: session
});

You can optionally pass a Redis host and port if you want to use the socket.io-redis adapter (defaults to localhost:6379):

var attach = racerSocketIo(store, {
  // ...
  redisStore: {
    host: 'redis.myapp.io',
    port: 1337
  }
}

Use the returned attach function to attach socket.io to your server:

var server = http.createServer(expressApp);
attach(server);
