Session middleware for socket.io v1.x;

Examples

varsocketSessions=require('socket.io-handshake');vario=require('socket.io')(3000);io.use(socketSessions());

Using connect-redis for our session store.

varsession=require('express-session');varRedisStore=require('connect-redis')(session);varsessionStore=newRedisStore();varcookieParser=require('cookie-parser');varsocketHandshake=require('socket.io-handshake');vario=require('socket.io')(3000);io.use(socketHandshake({store: sessionStore,key:'sid',secret:'secret',parser:cookieParser()}));

To access the session data.

io.on('connection'function(sock){if(!sock.handshake.session.name){sock.emit('get name');};sock.on('set nama',function(name){sock.handhsake.session.name=name;sock.handshake.session.save();});});
