🌈 Component Level Usage

if you want listen socket events from component side, you have to add `sockets` object in Vue component, and every function will start listen events, depends on object key

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 Listenlers

if you need consuming events dynamically in runtime, you can use `subscribe` and `unsubscribe` methods in Vue component

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

this.sockets.unsubscribe('EVENT_NAME');
