socket.io-user-session

Fast example

Server-side:

var port = 8222;
var sessions = {}; //sessions storage

var io = require('socket.io')(port);
var userSession = require('socket.io-user-session');

io.on('connection', function(socket){
    userSession(io, socket, sessions, function(io, socket, session){
        
        session.data.uid = 1; //save to session data
        
        ...
        
    });
});

Client-side:

var config = {
    url: 'http://mypage.com',
    port: 8222,
    cookiename: 'usersession'
};
var cookies = myCookies(); //My JavaScript library https://github.com/SzymonLisowiec/myCookies
var socket = io.connect(config.url+':'+config.port);

var sessionId = cookies.cookieValue(cookiename);

socket.emit('check session', sessionId);
socket.on('new session', function(sessionId){
	cookies.setCookie(cookiename, sessionId);
});

userSession construct

userSession(io, socket, sessions, callback[, sessionIdPattern]);

io - (Object) socket.io

socket - (Object) socket received after connection with client

sessions - (Object) sessions storage

callback - (Function) further actions; callback(io, socket, session, clearsocket)

sessionIdPattern - (String)(Optional) Random string to create sessionId;

Default sessionIdPattern:
