I am trying to seperate logic in my socket.io server but i am experiance some issues.
say for instance i have the following:
io.on('connection', function (socket) {
var fileModule = require('./costum_modules/FileModule.js')(io);
app.use(fileModule);
});
Now inside the fileModule
i have the following code:
var fileModule = function (socket) {
socket.on('userData', function(msg){
var i = 0;
});
}
module.exports = new fileModule();
Sadly the socket i undefined.
My question is can i do it like this or is it not possible to pass a singleton to another file and make it read from the same object?
You can use other files to break up your logic, but there are a couple issues with your code.
First, I think Hacketo is correct that you don't want to do new fileModule()
, just:
module.exports = fileModule;
Second, when call require, you are passing the global socketIO object ( io
). You should pass it the socket
you get in the connection handler. Eg
require('./costum_modules/FileModule.js')(socket);
I think that will work to move some of your socket.io message handling code into a module. Now your socket will respond to userData
messages from a client. However, unless you have some custom application, I don't think app.use
is going to do what you expect. You can't hook web socket handlers into an Express/Restify/Connect/Whatever middleware chain. But you could write a middleware that sends a message to your socket server.
If you are just trying to share the session between your app and socket server, try this SO answer .
