🚀 Installation

npm install vue-socket.io --save

Using Connection String

import Vue from 'vue'
import store from './store'
import App from './App.vue'
import VueSocketIO from 'vue-socket.io'
import SocketIO from "socket.io-client"

Vue.use(new VueSocketIO({
    debug: true,
    connection: 'http://metinseylan.com:1992',
    vuex: {
        store,
        actionPrefix: 'SOCKET_',
        mutationPrefix: 'SOCKET_'
    },
    options: { path: "/my-app/" } //Optional options
}))

new Vue({
    router,
    store,
    render: h => h(App)
}).$mount('#app')

Using socket.io-client Instance

import Vue from 'vue'
import store from './store'
import App from './App.vue'
import VueSocketIO from 'vue-socket.io'
import SocketIO from "socket.io-client"

const options = { path: '/my-app/' }; //Options object to pass into SocketIO

Vue.use(new VueSocketIO({
    debug: true,
    connection: SocketIO('http://metinseylan.com:1992', options), //options object is Optional
    vuex: {
      store,
      actionPrefix: "SOCKET_",
      mutationPrefix: "SOCKET_"
    }
  })
);

new Vue({
    router,
    store,
    render: h => h(App)
}).$mount('#app')

🌈 Component Level Usage

new Vue({
    sockets: {
        connect: function () {
            console.log('socket connected')
        },
        customEmit: function (data) {
            console.log('this method was fired by the socket server. eg: io.emit("customEmit", data)')
        }
    },
    methods: {
        clickButton: function (data) {
            // $socket is socket.io-client instance
            this.$socket.emit('emit_method', data)
        }
    }
})

Dynamic Listeners

this.sockets.subscribe('EVENT_NAME', (data) => {
    this.msg = data.message;
});

this.sockets.unsubscribe('EVENT_NAME');

🏆 Vuex Integration

import Vue from 'vue'
import Vuex from 'vuex'

Vue.use(Vuex)

export default new Vuex.Store({
    state: {},
    mutations: {
        "<MUTATION_PREFIX><EVENT_NAME>"() {
            // do something
        }
    },
    actions: {
        "<ACTION_PREFIX><EVENT_NAME>"() {
            // do something
        }
    }
})

🏆 Connection Namespace

import Vue from 'vue'
import store from './store'
import App from './App.vue'
import VueSocketIO from 'vue-socket.io'

Vue.use(new VueSocketIO({
    debug: true,
    connection: 'http://metinseylan.com:1992/mynamespace',
    vuex: {
        store,
        options: {
            useConnectionNamespace: true
        }
    },
    options: { path: "/my-app/" } //Optional options
}))

new Vue({
    router,
    store,
    render: h => h(App)
}).$mount('#app')

Then use it like this:

Vue.$socket.mynamespace.emit('emit_method', data)
