A Promise-based implementation of Sails Socket library inspired by axios.

simply install it with node or yarn:

npm install sails-socket

You have to provide socket url to the connect method and you're off to go.

import SailsSocket from 'sails-socket'
...

SailsSocket.connect('http://your-socket-server/');
SailsSocket.get('/hello').then(function(jwr) {
  console.log(jwr.body);
}).catch(function(jwr) {
  console.log(jwr.error);
})

The implemented methods are: connect, disconnect, get, post, put, delete, request, on, off, setHeader

It has to be called before using any other functions, it would throw an error if there was already another socket connection.

const initializeParams = {url: 'http://sails-server.com/'}
socket = SailsSocket.connect(initializeParams)

initializeParams can be any sails configuration option as an objec like url, transports, headers and etc. see sails documentations for more details. it returns the created socket. although it can be accessible later via static SailsSocket.activeSocket property.

it disconnects current active socket.

SailsSocket.disconnect()

it sends a get request corresponding to io.socket.get() and returns a promise.

SailsSocket.get(url, data)

it sends a post request corresponding to io.socket.post() and returns a promise.

SailsSocket.post(url, data)

it sends a put request corresponding to io.socket.put() and returns a promise.

SailsSocket.put(url, data)

it sends a delete request corresponding to io.socket.delete() and returns a promise.

SailsSocket.delete(url, data)

it sends a customizable request corresponding to io.socket.request() and returns a promise.

SailsSocket.request(options)

it starts listening for server-sent events from Sails with specified eventIdentity corresponding to io.socket.on().

SailsSocket.on(url, callback)

unbind the specified event handler corresponding to io.socket.off().

SailsSocket.off(url, callback)

sets header to the active socket

SailsSocket.setHeader(headers)

headers object
