Real-time Communication
Socket.io provides real-time bidirectional event-based communication, which is essential for applications requiring instant data exchange, such as chat applications, live notifications, and multiplayer games.
Cross-browser Compatibility
Socket.io abstracts the differences between various web socket implementations across different browsers, ensuring consistent performance and compatibility.
Fallback Support
If WebSocket support is unavailable, Socket.io seamlessly falls back to other communication protocols such as long-polling, ensuring reliable connections.
Event-driven Architecture
Socket.io uses an event-driven approach, which simplifies the handling of complex real-time interactions through named events that can be easily managed and debugged.
Scalability Options
Socket.io can be effectively integrated with scaling solutions like Redis, which allows horizontal scaling and ensures that messages are correctly distributed among multiple server instances.
Easy to Use
Socket.io offers a straightforward API, making it easier for developers to implement real-time communication without deep knowledge of the underlying protocols.
Built-in Room and Namespace Support
With built-in support for rooms and namespaces, Socket.io allows more organized and efficient handling of events and connections within distinct channels or groups.

Websockets in Node.js
There are various libraries that let you create a ws server:-
Https://www.npmjs.com/package/websocket
Https://github.com/websockets/ws
Https://socket.io/.

For the socket integration I use https://socket.io/ and follow their integration guide about nextjs ( https://socket.io/how-to/use-with-nextjs).

I don’t like to use sockets on nextjs, just looking at the integration page of socket.io (How to use with Next.js | Socket.IO) feel so weird for me, also combining the fact that the developer server is just a nightmare, I prefer to avoid everything related to websockets and nextjs at least for the moment.

When developing web applications, you might encounter connectivity issues between your client and server when using Socket.io on localhost.

Previously we created a chat with pusher. But this time we are going to do it with Socket.io. Socket.io is a NodeJS library. With it we can create our own servers. This is cheaper than using pusher server and we have more control on the code.

The first is the script tag in the head of our HTML document that loads the Socket.IO client library. This script tag includes the Socket.IO client library that will communicate with our socket.io server from the code above.

Before diving into this tutorial, if you find microservices mysterious, check out my previous article for a detailed explanation. In this hands-on tutorial, we’ll build a real-time chat server using Node.js, Socket.io, RabbitMQ, and Docker. Get ready for a practical journey into the world of microservices! Let’s begin.

Now we will be implementing socket logic using socket.io for building websockets. This library provides an abstraction layer on top of WebSockets, simplifying the process of creating real-time applications. For better maintainability, it is recommended to create a separate file for socket calls. To do this, navigate to the src folder, create a folder named services, and inside it, create a file named socket.ts…

I am using socket.io for real-time notification service. Previously my frontend part was deployed in Netlify and here the notification was not working properly as Netlify follows serverless architecture.

Yes. Im running on DreamCompute currently. Discord.js and socket.io within same app. A dedicated server works too, but pricier.

No, not a library. More like, the frontend and backend just happen to need the same version to be compatible (socket.io is a good example, moment.js was the most basic I could think of).

For apps that require real-time communication, Socket.IO can be a valuable addition. It enables bidirectional, event-based communication between the server and client, making it an ideal choice for implementing real-time chat features.

Since im also using socket.io I thought of making the login through that session id, but everytime I reload the page the id changes so that wont work. Bounding the user data to the request ip seems bad to me as well, database as well.

I dont really wanna use webrtc because well first I already started with socket.io and I dont wanna use a signaling server (if I remember correctly) because I want it to be like timespeak where you put it on a server, start it and forget it.

I’m glad to announce the version 0.7.0 of my library socketioxide! It is a socket.io server implementation working as a tower layer/service. Therefore it integrates with any hyper based http framework like salvo, axum, warp or hyper itself.
