Query in Socket.io

[andershagebakken]

Hi. My question is simple. How can I for instance make a route called "/chat", and include socket.io in that chatController? I know how to make the route, but how do I get socket implemented in that controller, and how to I add a query parameter to the connection? Thank you so much.

Here is a commented out example of setting a query param for socket.io.

Here is an example using the socket service to syncUpdates with the model.

Thank you. Is there any way I can set the query string based on GET parameters? For instance /chat?roomID=11 will produce query: 'roomID' : 11?

[kingcody]

query: 'roomID=11'

[andershagebakken]

Yes, but is there a way of getting the roomID based on the GET parameter? For instance as :'roomID='getURLparameter? I would like it to be dynamic and not hard coded

[kingcody]

Depends, are you using ng-route or ui-router?

[andershagebakken]

ng-router. Thanks for your help.

[kingcody]

query: 'roomID=' + $routeParams.roomID

[andershagebakken]

There we go. Thank you very much!

[kingcody]

@andershagebakken sure thing (:

I'll continue on this issue, rather than opening a new one. Is there any way I can add the currentUser._id to the query? I can get it asynchronously, but then the user_id is undefined when I do this: "query: 'user_id='+user_id". Thanks in advance.
