socket.send(JSON.stringify({username: 'foo', didSomeAction: 'pressedAButton'}));The send method takes 2 arguments. A message which is passed into the native websockets send method and an optional stringify boolean. This boolean, if set to true, will do a JSON.stringify to the message before passing it to the websocket send method. If you are sending strings it is recommended to pass true.

}Please visit: socket.io docs for more details on ember-websocket + socket.io
Example:
const socket = this.socketService.socketFor('ws://localhost:7000/', ['myOptionalProtocol']);socketFor takes two arguments: a url, a protocol array (optional), and returns a socket instance from its cache or a new websocket connection if one was not found.
To use a custom namespace, append the namespace to the end of the url.
const socket = this.socketService.socketFor(`ws://localhost:7000/${namespace}`);Example:
const socket = this.socketService.socketFor('ws://localhost:7000/');
socket.on('open', this.myOtherOpenFunction);on takes 3 arguments: event type, callback function, and context. Event type can be one of the following: 'open', 'message', 'close', and 'error'. Callback function will be invoked when one of the event types occurs.
Example:
const socket = this.socketService.socketFor('ws://localhost:7000/');
let openFunctionReference = this.myOpenFunction.bind(this);
socket.on('open', openFunctionReference);
socket.off('open', openFunctionReference);off takes 2 arguments: event type, callback function. Event type can be one of the following: 'open', 'message', 'close', and 'error'. The callback will be removed from the event pool and will no longer be invoked.
Example:
this.socketService.closeSocketFor('ws://localhost:7000/');closeSocketFor takes a single argument, a url, and closes the websocket connection. It will also remove it from the cache. In normal cases you would not have to call this method.
Example:
socket.on('close', event => {
socket.reconnect();
});reconnect takes no arguments. It will attempt to create a new websocket connect using the previous url. If the connect is not successful the close event will be triggered.
git clone [email protected]:thoov/ember-websockets.gitcd ember-websocketsyarnember s- Then visit http://localhost:4200/sockets/example to view a very simple example.
The source code for the live example lives in ember-websockets/tests/dummy
git clone [email protected]:thoov/ember-websockets.gitcd ember-websocketsyarnember t- or
ember sthen visit http://localhost:4200/tests to view the tests.
NOTE: To get the test to run in PhantomJS I created a mocking library found here: mocking library Note that it is still a work in progress.
