Is there a way to instantiate connection inside a component?

[jokeronaldo]

Is possible to connect inside a component? I mean, not in main.js but in a module, something like Login.vue

@MetinSeylan any thoughts on this? Would be great if you could instantiate the socket connection not in main.js and not when app is created, but later, say after user has logged in.

it can be done by through socket.io options and API

https://socket.io/docs/client-api/#socket-open

Vue.use(new VueSocketIO({
    connection: SocketIO('http://metinseylan.com:1992', {   autoConnect: false }),
  })
);
