Usage
//configure passport and express
var socketIo = require("socket.io"),
passportSocketIo = require("passport.socketio");
var sio = socketIo.listen(webServer);
//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!");
