go-socket.io-redis

By running go-socket.io with this adapter, you can run multiple socket.io instances in different processes or servers that can all broadcast and emit events to and from each other.

How to use

Install the package using:

go get "github.com/satyakb/go-socket.io-redis"

Usage:

import (
    "log"
    "net/http"
    "github.com/googollee/go-socket.io"
    "github.com/satyakb/go-socket.io-redis"
)

func main() {
    server, err := socketio.NewServer(nil)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    opts := make(map[string]string)
    server.SetAdaptor(redis.Redis(opts))

    server.On("connection", func(so socketio.Socket) {
        log.Println("on connection")
        so.Join("chat")
        so.On("chat message", func(msg string) {
            log.Println("emit:", so.Emit("chat message", msg))
            so.BroadcastTo("chat", "chat message", msg)
        })
        so.On("disconnection", func() {
            log.Println("on disconnect")
        })
    })
    server.On("error", func(so socketio.Socket, err error) {
        log.Println("error:", err)
    })

    http.Handle("/socket.io/", server)
    http.Handle("/", http.FileServer(http.Dir("./asset")))
    log.Println("Serving at localhost:5000...")
    log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":5000", nil))
}
