//configure passport and express
var socketIo = require("socket.io"),
passportSocketIo = require("passport.socketio");
var sio = socketIo.listen(webServer);
sio.set("authorization", passportSocketIo.authorize({
sessionKey: 'express.sid', //the cookie where express (or connect) stores its session id.
sessionStore: mySessionStore, //the session store that express uses
sessionSecret: "my session secret", //the session secret to parse the cookie
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!");
