How can I use Socket.IO with promises?

Question

As a part of an ongoing effort, I'm changing my current callbacks technique to promises using blue-bird promise library.

I would like to implement this technique with Socket.IO as well.

• How can I use Socket.IO with promises instead of callbacks?
• Is there any standard way of doing it with Socket.IO? any official solution?

Answer 1

You might look into Q-Connection, which facilitates RPC using promises as proxies for remote objects and can use Socket.IO as a message transport.
