My hope is to support you and help out with the website. As soon as we add organizations support to now.sh I'll be able to include you. In the mean time, feel free to point me to what repositories I should deploy at what URLs!

The Server API <https://github.com/socketio/socket.io/blob/master/docs/API.md> and Client API <https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client/blob/master/docs/API.md> were added on Github, do not hesitate if you find something missing! Current to-do list: - release the version 2.0 of Engine.IO Engine.IO will now default to uws <https://github.com/uWebSockets/uWebSockets> as WebSocket engine, that should bring great performance improvements. An important issue about double UTF-8 encoding was also fixed in the parser <socketio/engine.io-parser#81>. The only "problem" is that one of the numerous issues open could need a fix over there, hence the delay. - complete the API docs (missing methods, code examples...): #2350 (comment) <#2350 (comment)> - add a Features section in the README, listing all features provided by Socket.IO (reconnection, multiplexing, rooms...) - add an Architecture overview section, listing every project ( socket.io-adapter, socket.io-parser...) and maybe describing what's happening behind the hood when calling socket.emit() or io.emit(). - take control over the website and the online examples. @rauchg <https://github.com/rauchg> suggested to rewrite the website with next.js <https://github.com/zeit/next.js/> (currently it is backed by WordPress) and to host it at https://now.sh - merge the cluster examples: nginx <#2817>, haproxy <#2818>, httpd <#2819>, reviews are welcome! - merge the whiteboard example: #2810 <#2810> - dig into CORS issue: socketio/engine.io#279 <socketio/engine.io#279> - dig into binary performance issue: socketio/socket.io-parser#61 <socketio/socket.io-parser#61> - maybe update the Namespace API on the client-side ( socketio/socket.io-client#1029 <socketio/socket.io-client#1029>, https://www.rabbitmq.com/blog/2012/02/23/how-to-compose-apps-using-websockets/ ) - add a Webpack build example: #2109 <#2109> - dig into handshake optimisation: #1954 <#1954> (somewhere around here <https://github.com/socketio/engine.io/blob/1.8.2/lib/socket.js#L56>) - dig into custom codecs: #1946 <#1946> - document the slim build: socketio/socket.io-client#1030 <socketio/socket.io-client#1030> (related: #2610 <#2610>) - fix the id generation on the client-side: socketio/socket.io-client#1058 <socketio/socket.io-client#1058> I closed quite a lot of issues yesterday through the GitHub API (hitting the rate limit several times), in order to have some feedback (like this one <#2350 (comment)> ❤️) and to be able to focus to the active ones.

Swinkid · 2017-01-15T20:26:47Z

Great to hear. Wish I could get involved, But I wish you the best of luck. Socket.IO Is probably my favourite library!

darrachequesne · 2017-01-16T07:10:54Z

@Swinkid, well, actually you can! If you find something missing / not clear enough in the documentation, do not hesitate to open a pull request!

Swinkid · 2017-01-16T08:47:51Z

@darrachequesne Awesome. One thing I did find while picking up Socket.IO, which maybe not the place for the documentation, was different "Niché" things like how to select certain Transport methods. Maybe in the future we need a look at code examples and what not.

Also @darrachequesne , seems like your portfolio's SSL Cert has expired ;)

darrachequesne · 2017-01-18T12:29:49Z

@Swinkid yep, it needs some love too 😄

darrachequesne · 2017-01-20T10:40:35Z

Two PR that would need reviews / opinions:

enable the use of a custom parser: Allow the use of a custom parser #2829
add an initialMessage option: Add an initialPacket option engine.io#471 (so the connect event will be triggered earlier)

Swinkid · 2017-01-23T22:29:14Z

Hey,

Just a suggestion - is the Wiki function on github editable by anyone? Wondering if considering using that so that when you get access to the website again we could just link to the documentation there to prevent the issue being present in the future.

Also, I was thinking about writing the chat application tutorial in markdown while fixing some of the issues raised in pull requests, opinions?

barryvdh · 2017-01-24T07:57:37Z

As @darrachequesne said, the API docs are also on Github already: https://github.com/socketio/socket.io/blob/master/docs/API.md

@rauchg If it's not easy to fix the corrupted website, perhaps just redirect the API links to Github directly?

EddieOne · 2017-02-07T23:04:24Z

Well, press secretary is not a great title but when you are elected, I would be willing to help on the documentation side. I see you have been working on the docs, that is great to see. My suggestion would be to totally host the site on github since it's the central location people go to first.

darrachequesne · 2017-02-13T22:50:56Z

slackin: https://slackin-socketio.now.sh/
chat example: https://socketio-chat.now.sh/
whiteboard example: https://socketio-whiteboard.now.sh/

Next step: the website
Note to myself: it seems time is actually a limited resource

Oh, and if anyone knows why the build fails with Error: 'document' is null or not an object here (the code seems to run in IE8 though)..

@nkzawa here is my PR to get the Android sample working with: https://socketio-chat.now.sh/ and some minor Android API upgrades (to level 25).

darrachequesne · 2017-03-01T06:23:52Z

The site should be up again: https://socket.io/

If anyone wants to contribute, the source is here: https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-website/tree/new-website (hosted on now.sh, thanks to @rauchg 👍 )

The entire site is offline now, including the CDN (https://cdn.socket.io) :(

Long story short: the domain is not managed by me anymore, but by Automattic, and there have been some communication issues that have made this process a lot more complicated than it should have been. I apologize for the service disruption. The CDN should be coming back up shortly. – @rauchg <https://twitter.com/rauchg>

Can't we just host the site on a different domain? .github.io for example
I really need the docs on running on multiple nodes. Can't seem to find it in the repository

EddieOne · 2017-03-08T23:27:05Z

Sorry, site is under maintenance as we work to get away from gross php. 😉
Docs can be found here and on the readme for each module.

darrachequesne · 2017-03-10T12:54:10Z

OK, it's been 3 days now, I guess we can reliably say the site is up again ❤️ The old docs, the blog and the examples are still missing, I'll update that as soon as possible.

Hi i am getting Failed to connect toast message when i tried to connect the server.What would be the issue.?

sopinon · 2017-03-16T12:55:42Z

still or again offline? :(

darrachequesne · 2017-05-16T11:12:49Z

I'm happy to announce that, in order to ensure the sustainability of the project, Socket.IO is now part of Open Collective: https://opencollective.com/socketio

That will provide a way for anyone, both individuals and companies, to sponsor the development and the maintenance of the project.

Hi is there a way to set custom cookie header when socket io connects to server?

osamasayed585 · 2023-01-13T20:49:59Z

Hello there, I tried to implement this demo as you show in this app but I found an issue,
what it means when I connect makes a problem with Listener called Socket.EVENT_CONNECT_ERROR

I think this occurs due to the server URL because I tried to remove the server URL and hit the run button to start my app again and also found the same error

I used this URL from this repo https://socket-io-chat.now.sh/ and this URL http://chat.socket.io from the documentation both don't work.

is this server URL still work?

darrachequesne · 2023-01-16T07:18:43Z

@osamasayed585 you can use https://socketio-chat-h9jt.herokuapp.com/ for now. I'll check if we can revive the chat.socket.io domain...
