Installation
|
||||
============
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
npm install passport.socketio
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Usage
|
||||
=====
|
||||
## Example usage
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
|
||||
//configure passport and express
|
||||
|
||||
var socketIo = require("socket.io"),
|
||||
// initialize our modules
|
||||
var io = require("socket.io")(server),
|
||||
sessionStore = require('awesomeSessionStore'), // find a working session store (have a look at the readme)
|
||||
passportSocketIo = require("passport.socketio");
|
||||
|
||||
var sio = socketIo.listen(webServer);
|
||||
// set authorization for socket.io
|
||||
io.set('authorization', passportSocketIo.authorize({
|
||||
cookieParse: express.cookieParse,
|
||||
key: 'express.sid', // the name of the cookie where express/connect stores its session_id
|
||||
secret: 'session_secret', // the session_secret to parse the cookie
|
||||
store: sessionStore, // we NEED to use a sessionstore. no memorystore please
|
||||
success: onAuthorizeSuccess, // *optional* callback on success - read more below
|
||||
fail: onAuthorizeFail, // *optional* callback on fail/error - read more below
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
function onAuthorizeSuccess(data, accept){
|
||||
console.log('successful connection to socket.io');
|
||||
|
||||
// The accept-callback still allows us to decide whether to
|
||||
// accept the connection or not.
|
||||
accept(null, true);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
//except for the optional fail and success the parameter object has the
|
||||
//same attribute than the session middleware http://www.senchalabs.org/connect/middleware-session.html
|
||||
|
||||
sio.set("authorization", passportSocketIo.authorize({
|
||||
cookieParser: express.cookieParser, //or connect.cookieParser
|
||||
key: 'express.sid', //the cookie where express (or connect) stores its session id.
|
||||
secret: 'my session secret', //the session secret to parse the cookie
|
||||
store: mySessionStore, //the session store that express uses
|
||||
fail: function(data, accept) { // *optional* callbacks on success or fail
|
||||
accept(null, false); // second param takes boolean on whether or not to allow handshake
|
||||
},
|
||||
success: function(data, accept) {
|
||||
accept(null, true);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}));
|
||||
|
||||
sio.sockets.on("connection", function(socket){
|
||||
console.log("user connected: ", socket.handshake.user.name);
|
||||
|
||||
//filter sockets by user...
|
||||
var userGender = socket.handshake.user.gender,
|
||||
opposite = userGender === "male" ? "female" : "male";
|
||||
|
||||
passportSocketIo.filterSocketsByUser(sio, function (user) {
|
||||
return user.gender === opposite;
|
||||
}).forEach(function(s){
|
||||
s.send("a " + userGender + " has arrived!");
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
function onAuthorizeFail(data, message, error, accept){
|
||||
if(critical)
|
||||
throw new Error(message);
|
||||
console.log('failed connection to socket.io:', message);
|
||||
|
||||
// We use this callback to log all of our failed connections.
|
||||
accept(null, false);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
__Note:__ in the client-side use `io.connect()` or `io.connect('http://the-same-domain.com')` because Socket.io can work with CORS but the browser will not send the cookies.
|
||||
## passport.socketio - Options
|
||||
|
||||
Develop
|
||||
=======
|
||||
### `store` [function] **required**:
|
||||
*Always* provide one. If you don't know what sessionStore to use, have a look at [this list](https://github.com/senchalabs/connect/wiki#session-stores).
|
||||
Also be sure to use the same sessionStore or at least a connection to *the same collection/table/whatever*. And don't forget your `express.session()` middleware:
|
||||
`app.use(express.session({ store: awesomeSessionStore }));`
|
||||
For further info about this middleware see [the official documentation](http://www.senchalabs.org/connect/session.html#session).
|
||||
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
npm test
|
||||
### `cookieParser` [function] **required**:
|
||||
You have to provide your cookieParser from express: `express.cookieParser`
|
||||
|
||||
License
|
||||
========
|
||||
### `key` [string] **optional**:
|
||||
Defaults to `'connect.sid'`. But you're always better of to be sure and set your own key. Don't forget to also change it in your `express.session()`:
|
||||
`app.use(express.session({ key: 'your.sid-key' }));`
|
||||
|
||||
MIT - José F. Romaniello 2012.
|
||||
### `secret` [string] **optional**:
|
||||
As with `key`, also the secret you provide is optional. *But:* be sure to have one. That's always safer. You can set it like the key:
|
||||
`app.use(express.session({ secret: 'pinkie ate my cupcakes!' }));`
|
||||
|
||||
### `passport` [function] **optional**:
|
||||
Defaults to `require('passport')`. If you want, you can provide your own instance of passport for whatever reason.
|
||||
|
||||
### `success` [function] **optional**:
|
||||
Callback which will be called everytime a *authorized* user successfuly connects to your socket.io instance. **Always** be sure to accept/reject the connection.
|
||||
For that, there are two parameters: `function(data[object], accept[function])`. `data` contains all the user-information from passport.
|
||||
The second parameter is for accepting/rejecting connections. Use it like this:
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// accept connection
|
||||
accept(null, true);
|
||||
|
||||
// reject connection (for whatever reason)
|
||||
accept(null, false);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### `fail` [function] **optional**:
|
||||
The name of this callback may be a little confusing. While it is called when a not-authorized-user connects, it is also called when there's a error.
|
||||
For debugging reasons you are provided with two additional parameters `function(data[object], message[string], error[bool], accept[function])`:
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
/* ... */
|
||||
function onAuthorizeFail(data, message, error, accept){
|
||||
// error indicates whether the fail is due to an error or just a unauthorized client
|
||||
if(error){
|
||||
throw new Error(message);
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
console.log(message);
|
||||
// the same accept-method as above in the success-callback
|
||||
accept(null, false);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// or
|
||||
// This function accepts every client unless there's an error
|
||||
function onAuthorizeFail(data, message, error, accept){
|
||||
console.log(message);
|
||||
accept(null, !error);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
You can use the `message` parameter for debugging/logging/etc uses.
|
||||
|
||||
## `socket.handshake.user`
|
||||
This property is always available from inside a `io.on('connection')` handler. If the user is authorized via passport, you can access all the properties from there.
|
||||
**Plus** you have the `socket.handshake.user.logged_in` property which tells you whether the user is currently authorized or not.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional methods
|
||||
|
||||
### `passportSocketIo.filterSocketsbyUser`
|
||||
This function gives you the ability to filter all connected sockets via a user property. Needs two parameters `function(io, function(user))`. Example:
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
passportSocketIo.filterSocketsByUser(io, function(user){
|
||||
return user.gender === 'female';
|
||||
}).forEach(function(socket){
|
||||
socket.send('msg', 'hello, woman!');
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes:
|
||||
* Does **NOT** support cookie-based sessions. eg: `express.cookieSession`
|
||||
* If the connection fails, check if you are requesting from a client via CORS. Check `socket.handshake.xdomain === true` as there are no cookies sent.
