Socket.io 生产连接 URL

Question

When in development env, this works as expected, Server Code... In development, I only specify the url in the client as const socket = io("http://localhost:3001"); Below is the server code.

const httpServer = createServer(app);
export const io = new Server(httpServer, {
  cors: {
    origin: "*",
  },
  path: "/socket.io/",
});
io.on("connection", (socket) => {
  // make function calls
  postOrderDeliveryStatus(socket);
  // getOrders(socket);
  // console.log("Socket Connected");

  // close socket
  socket.on("disconnect", () => {
    socket.disconnect(true);
  });
});

httpServer.listen(3001);

//mongoose
// console.log(process.env.CONNECTION_URL)
mongoose
  .connect(process.env.CONNECTION_URL, {
    useNewUrlParser: true,
    useUnifiedTopology: true,
    useCreateIndex: true,
  })
  .then(() =>
    app.listen(PORT, () =>
      winston.info(
        `Server Running in ${process.env.NODE_ENV} mode on Port: ${PORT}`
      )
    )
  )
  .catch((error) => console.log(`${error} did not connect`));
mongoose.set("useFindAndModify", false);

Client...

const socket = io("http://localhost:3001");
  
  const dispatchOrderHandler = () => {
    const delivery_status = "DISPATCHED";
    socket.emit("update-order", order._id, delivery_status);
    // dispatch(getOrderDetailsToProcess(paramsOrderId)); //This dispatch  alone can suffice
    socket.on("updated-order", (updated_order) => {
      dispatch(
        getOrderDetailsToProcess(paramsOrderId, (order) => [
          ...order,
          updated_order,
        ])
      );
    });
  };

The error i get when sockets run is.net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. I also tried const socket = io(); without specifying the url since both the client and the server run on the same domain but that didn't either? What should the connection URL be in production since specifying the domain name hasn't worked? Am using heroku!

Answer 1

When using a hosting service, the service will provide the port to the client. You can access that port through process.env.PORT . To make the experience a bit more friendly to yourself as a developer, you can listen to the port using httpServer.listen(process.env.PORT || 3001);

As for the client, I believe you are right on using const socket = io(); , although I haven't used socket.io in a while.

Answer 2

Use const socket = io("serverurl") to connect to a specific server.

I believe you can specify a port there as well.

So like for my website, I would do: const socket = io("us2.swordbattle.io:3000")
