11## Features
12
13Socket.IO enables real-time bidirectional event-based communication. It consists of:
14
15- a Node.js server (this repository)
16- a [Javascript client library](https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client) for the browser (or a Node.js client)
17
18Some implementations in other languages are also available:
19
20- [Java](https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client-java)
21- [C++](https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client-cpp)
22- [Swift](https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client-swift)
23- [Dart](https://github.com/rikulo/socket.io-client-dart)
24- [Python](https://github.com/miguelgrinberg/python-socketio)
25- [.NET](https://github.com/doghappy/socket.io-client-csharp)
26
27Its main features are:
28
29#### Reliability
30
31Connections are established even in the presence of:
32 - proxies and load balancers.
33 - personal firewall and antivirus software.
34
35For this purpose, it relies on [Engine.IO](https://github.com/socketio/engine.io), which first establishes a long-polling connection, then tries to upgrade to better transports that are "tested" on the side, like WebSocket. Please see the [Goals](https://github.com/socketio/engine.io#goals) section for more information.
36
37#### Auto-reconnection support
38
39Unless instructed otherwise a disconnected client will try to reconnect forever, until the server is available again. Please see the available reconnection options [here](https://socket.io/docs/v3/client-api/#new-Manager-url-options).
40
41#### Disconnection detection
42
43A heartbeat mechanism is implemented at the Engine.IO level, allowing both the server and the client to know when the other one is not responding anymore.
44
45That functionality is achieved with timers set on both the server and the client, with timeout values (the `pingInterval` and `pingTimeout` parameters) shared during the connection handshake. Those timers require any subsequent client calls to be directed to the same server, hence the `sticky-session` requirement when using multiples nodes.
46
47#### Binary support
48
49Any serializable data structures can be emitted, including:
50
51- [ArrayBuffer](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/ArrayBuffer) and [Blob](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Blob) in the browser
52- [ArrayBuffer](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/ArrayBuffer) and [Buffer](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html) in Node.js
53
54#### Simple and convenient API
55
56Sample code:
57
58```js
59io.on('connection', socket => {
60 socket.emit('request', /* … */); // emit an event to the socket
61 io.emit('broadcast', /* … */); // emit an event to all connected sockets
62 socket.on('reply', () => { /* … */ }); // listen to the event
63});
64```
65
66#### Cross-browser
67
68Browser support is tested in Sauce Labs:
69
70[![Sauce Test Status](https://saucelabs.com/browser-matrix/socket.svg)](https://saucelabs.com/u/socket)
71
72#### Multiplexing support
73
74In order to create separation of concerns within your application (for example per module, or based on permissions), Socket.IO allows you to create several `Namespaces`, which will act as separate communication channels but will share the same underlying connection.
75
76#### Room support
77
78Within each `Namespace`, you can define arbitrary channels, called `Rooms`, that sockets can join and leave. You can then broadcast to any given room, reaching every socket that has joined it.
79
80This is a useful feature to send notifications to a group of users, or to a given user connected on several devices for example.
81
82
83**Note:** Socket.IO is not a WebSocket implementation. Although Socket.IO indeed uses WebSocket as a transport when possible, it adds some metadata to each packet: the packet type, the namespace and the ack id when a message acknowledgement is needed. That is why a WebSocket client will not be able to successfully connect to a Socket.IO server, and a Socket.IO client will not be able to connect to a WebSocket server (like `ws://echo.websocket.org`) either. Please see the protocol specification [here](https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-protocol).
84
85## Installation
86
87```bash
88// with npm
89npm install socket.io
90
91// with yarn
92yarn add socket.io
93```
94
95## How to use
96
97The following example attaches socket.io to a plain Node.JS
98HTTP server listening on port `3000`.
99
100```js
101const server = require('http').createServer();
102const io = require('socket.io')(server);
103io.on('connection', client => {
104 client.on('event', data => { /* … */ });
105 client.on('disconnect', () => { /* … */ });
106});
107server.listen(3000);
108```
109
110### Standalone
111
112```js
113const io = require('socket.io')();
114io.on('connection', client => { ... });
115io.listen(3000);
116```
117
118### In conjunction with Express
119
120Starting with **3.0**, express applications have become request handler
121functions that you pass to `http` or `http` `Server` instances. You need
122to pass the `Server` to `socket.io`, and not the express application
123function. Also make sure to call `.listen` on the `server`, not the `app`.
124
125```js
126const app = require('express')();
127const server = require('http').createServer(app);
128const io = require('socket.io')(server);
129io.on('connection', () => { /* … */ });
130server.listen(3000);
131```
132
133### In conjunction with Koa
134
135Like Express.JS, Koa works by exposing an application as a request
136handler function, but only by calling the `callback` method.
137
138```js
139const app = require('koa')();
140const server = require('http').createServer(app.callback());
141const io = require('socket.io')(server);
142io.on('connection', () => { /* … */ });
143server.listen(3000);
144```
145
146### In conjunction with Fastify
147
148To integrate Socket.io in your Fastify application you just need to
149register `fastify-socket.io` plugin. It will create a `decorator`
150called `io`.
151
152```js
153const app = require('fastify')();
154app.register(require('fastify-socket.io'));
155app.io.on('connection', () => { /* … */ });
156app.listen(3000);
157```
158
159## Documentation
160
161Please see the documentation [here](https://socket.io/docs/).
162
163The source code of the website can be found [here](https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-website). Contributions are welcome!
164
165## Debug / logging
166
167Socket.IO is powered by [debug](https://github.com/visionmedia/debug).
168In order to see all the debug output, run your app with the environment variable
169`DEBUG` including the desired scope.
170
171To see the output from all of Socket.IO's debugging scopes you can use:
172
173```
174DEBUG=socket.io* node myapp
175```
176
177## Testing
178
179```
180npm test
181```
182This runs the `gulp` task `test`. By default the test will be run with the source code in `lib` directory.
183
184Set the environmental variable `TEST_VERSION` to `compat` to test the transpiled es5-compat version of the code.
185
186The `gulp` task `test` will always transpile the source code into es5 and export to `dist` first before running the test.
