Geofancy-Socket.io-Sample

This Sample demonstrates the use of Geofancy's Socket.io API in your Browser.

Of course you may you the Socket.io API with whatever infrastructure you'd like to.

Just point against https://my.geofancy.com:443 just like

var socket = io.connect('https://my.geofancy.com:443');

and authenticate by emitting the session event

socket.emit('session', {username: 'YOUR_USERNAME', password:'YOUR_PASSWORD'});

socket.on('session', function (data) {
	console.log(data);
});

you'll get an session_id in case the authentication was successful

{session_id: "966f3e37aa1cf6ad634bc8912d7e8386e28e70b4"} 

or an error in case it was invalid

{error: "invalid credentials"} 

Nothing to do with that session_id as long as your session persists you'll receive events like e.g.

socket.on('fencelog', function (data) {
	if (data.event === 'add') {
		var fencelog = data.fencelog;
		// Your fencelog and you
	} else if (data.event === 'list') {
		var fencelogs = data.fencelogs;
		for (var i = fencelogs.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
			var fencelog = fencelogs[i];
			// Do whatever you want with the fencelog
		};
	}
});

Current the list event can be emitted manually by using the https://my.geofancy.com/api/socket.io/fencelogs (authentication needed) endpoint which will just emit all your current Fencelogs for testing purpose.

As soon as a Fencelogs is added the add event is emitted providing the Fecenlogs's data to you.
