I am unable to figure out why disconnecting / connecting a socket.io connection multiple times is not working ?
Server side code:
io.on('connection', function(socket){
console.log('a user connected');
socket.on('disconnect', function(){
console.log('user disconnected');
});
});
Client side code:
var socket = io();
socket.on('connect', function() {
console.log("connected from the client side");
});
$('#connect_button').click(function(){
socket.connect();
});
$('#disconnect_button').click(function(){
socket.disconnect();
});
It disconnects alright. But doesn't reconnect. I'm using Socket.io 1.0. Please help.
Have you tried this config in client ?
// 0.9 socket.io version
io.connect(SERVER_IP, {'force new connection': true});
// 1.0 socket.io version
io.connect(SERVER_IP, {'forceNew': true});
This solution, based on Jujuleder's answer works. Apparently in socket.io 1.0, it is "forceNew" instead of "force new connection" - both work though.
Server:
var app = require('express')();
var http = require('http').Server(app);
var io = require('socket.io')(http);
app.get('/', function(req, res){
res.sendfile('s.html');
});
io.on('connection', function(socket){
console.log('a user connected: ' + socket.id);
socket.on('disconnect', function(){
console.log( socket.name + ' has disconnected from the chat.' + socket.id);
});
socket.on('join', function (name) {
socket.name = name;
console.log(socket.name + ' joined the chat.');
});
});
http.listen(3000, function(){
console.log('listening on *:3000');
});
Client (s.html):
