#### 🚀 Installation
``` bash
npm install vue-socket.io --save
```
##### Using Connection String
``` javascript
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',
vuex: {
store,
actionPrefix: 'SOCKET_',
mutationPrefix: 'SOCKET_'
},
options: { path: "/my-app/" } //Optional options
}))
new Vue({
router,
store,
render: h => h(App)
}).$mount('#app')
```
##### Using socket.io-client Instance
``` javascript
import Vue from 'vue'
import store from './store'
import App from './App.vue'
import VueSocketIO from 'vue-socket.io'
const options = { path: '/my-app/' }; //Options object to pass into SocketIO
Vue.use(new VueSocketIO({
debug: true,
connection: SocketIO('http://metinseylan.com:1992', options), //options object is Optional
vuex: {
store,
actionPrefix: "SOCKET_",
mutationPrefix: "SOCKET_"
}
})
);
new Vue({
router,
store,
render: h => h(App)
}).$mount('#app')
```
**Parameters**|**Type's**|**Default**|**Required**|**Description**
-----|-----|-----|-----|-----
debug|Boolean|`false`|Optional|Enable logging for debug
darkMode|Boolean|`false`|Optional|Enable console dark mode for debug
connection|String/Socket.io-client|`null`|Required|Websocket server url or socket.io-client instance
vuex.store|Vuex|`null`|Optional|Vuex store instance
vuex.actionPrefix|String|`null`|Optional|Prefix for emitting server side vuex actions
vuex.mutationPrefix|String |`null`|Optional|Prefix for emitting server side vuex mutations
vuex.options.useConnectionNamespace |Boolean|`false`|Optional|Use more than one connection namespace
#### 🌈 Component Level Usage
< p > If you want to listen socket events from component side, you need to add `sockets` object in Vue component, and every function will start to listen events, depends on object key</ p >
``` javascript
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
< p > If you need consuming events dynamically in runtime, you can use `subscribe` and `unsubscribe` methods in Vue component</ p >
``` javascript
this.sockets.subscribe('EVENT_NAME', (data) => {
this.msg = data.message;
});
this.sockets.unsubscribe('EVENT_NAME');
```
#### 🏆 Vuex Integration
< p > When you set store parameter in installation, `Vue-Socket.io` will start sending events to Vuex store. If you set both prefix for vuex, you can use `actions` and `mutations` at the same time. But, best way to use is just `actions` </ p >
``` javascript
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
< p > When you need to handle more than one namespaced connection, you need to set the `useConnectionNamespace` property of
the options object to true. What this does is telling the plugin that you are going to be using more than one namespaced connection and you want to put every connection in their own `$socket` key.</ p >
``` javascript
import Vue from 'vue'
import store from './store'
import App from './App.vue'
import VueSocketIO from 'vue-socket.io'
Vue.use(new VueSocketIO({
debug: true,
connection: 'http://metinseylan.com:1992/mynamespace',
vuex: {
store,
options: {
useConnectionNamespace: true
}
},
options: { path: "/my-app/" } //Optional options
}))
new Vue({
router,
store,
render: h => h(App)
}).$mount('#app')
```
Then use it like this:
``` javascript
Vue.$socket.mynamespace.emit('emit_method', data)
```
