LivE.io

Live.io combines the power of the new Express 4.0, socket.io and passport! Empower your sockets!

Installation

npm install live.io --save

Usage

replace require('express') with require('live.io')

Initialization params

1. sessionSecret - your express-session secret. Required field.
2. store - session store. Defaults to MemoryStore of express-session package.
3. cookieParser - your custom cookie-parser. Defaults to cookie-parser package.
4. Secure - If you use https, wss combo, you can pass your https options. Note: If you use secure, socket-io will be secure-only.

var app = live({
    sessionSecret: sessionSecret,
    store: sessionStore,
    cookieParser: cookieParser,
    secure: {
        key: privateKey,
        cert: certificate
        }
    });

Add your socket route using the socket method.

app.route('/').socket(function(req, res){
  // req.body contains socket data
  // res.emit can emit data to socket.
  // res.json is a helper method to return json data. This will be implemented in the next release.
});

Events

Special events include 'connect' and 'disconnect' while routing.

app.route('connect').socket(function(req, res){
    // do stuff on connection.
});

app.route('disconnect').socket(function(req, res){
   // do stuff on connection.
});
