Question

I want to get session id of client in my socket.io client.

here is my socket.io client :

var socket = new io.Socket(config.host, {port: config.port, rememberTransport: false});     // when connected, clear out display     socket.on('connect',function() {         console.log('dummy user connected');     });     socket.on('disconnect',function() {         console.log('disconnected');     });     socket.connect();     return socket; 

I want to get session id of this client , how can i get that ?

Answer 1

Have a look at my primer on exactly this topic.

UPDATE:

var sio = require('socket.io'),     app = require('express').createServer();  app.listen(8080); sio = sio.listen(app);  sio.on('connection', function (client) {   console.log('client connected');    // send the clients id to the client itself.   client.send(client.id);    client.on('disconnect', function () {     console.log('client disconnected');   }); });
