NestJS 8， socket.io 4
Client user has a socket being able to receive data from the server. Not sending.
Refresh browser, the socket ID changed. Socket on the client receive 'connect' event! Yet. On server side, no logging at all. Which kind of explained point 1.
After reboot nest, problem is gone. But it comes back eventually.
My current troubleshooting direction is
Was the connection on the client dead already and it's still trying somehow to update the socket?
Browser does some caching, service worker?
I hope someone can enlighten. This happens after upgrade to socket.io 4 from 2.
It's my own stupidity.
My tenant who own the namespace. In order to reach him, I create his namespace and send message to it no matter he's online or offline.
This works fine in socket.io 2. I don't know why.
What I should do, is to check whether or not, the namespace exists or not first.
That's why the issue that I have is that the server somehow seems able to pipe message to the namespace, yet the tenant cannot send the message to the server because the tenant was not initialized properly in the nest gateway.

I’m bulilding a web app that requires communication between clients. For this I’m using socket.io. Some data however has to be updated regularly in the database.
Some of them not that often (preferences, on button click) others in every second for example a timer value. This can not be calculated because the timer can be paused.
Right now whenever a client emits an event, it also makes a request to the backend to updated the database. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to have the socket.io server update the database so the clients would only have to take care of the socket communication? It seems to me that having the browser do a request to the backend is a bit resource heavy and takes out a bit from the advantages of the socket based communication
Edit: the back end of the app and the socket server are two different servers but physically they are on the same machine so their communication could be faster
the main point of using socket.io is that it allows you to push data to clients and clients do not need to check your server constantly to get the last changes, and providing a low-overhead communication channel between the server and the client.
you can call an API and also emit data and many other things on user click in your application.
it is a good idea to have the socket.io server update the database and you can also authorize each socket, save client sockets information and ...
I have a process that runs in California that wants to talk to a process in New York, using Stomp over Websockets.
Also note that my process is not a web app, but I implemented a stomp over websocket client in C++, in order to connect things up to my backend. Maybe this was or wasn't a good idea. So, I want my client to talk to the server and subscribe, where their client pushed messages.
I was implementing my own server when I saw that ApacheMQ supported Stomp over Websockets. So, I started reading the docs.
It says with the last line under 'configuration' at
http://activemq.apache.org/websockets :
One thing worth noting is that web sockets (just as Ajax) implements ? > the same origin policy, so you can access only brokers running on the > same host as the web application running the client.
it says it again in several related searches such as http://sensatic.net/activemq/activemq-54-stomp-over-web-sockets.html
Is this a limitation of the server or the web client?
With that limitation, if I understand right, the server is not going to accept websocket connections from a client, of any kind, that is not on the same machine?
I am not sure I see the point of that...
If that is indeed its meaning, then how do I get around it in order to implement my scenario?
I've not found that bit of documentation you are referring to but from what I know of the STOMP implementation on the broker this seems incorrect. There shouldn't be any limit to the transport connector accepting connect requests from an outside host by default and I don't think the browser treats the websocket requests the same as it does other things like an Ajax case in terms of the same origin policy.
This probably a case that is best checked by actually trying it to see if it works, I've connected just fine from outside the same host using AMQP over websockets on ActiveMQ so I'd guess the STOMP stack should also work fine.
I have one api for stock trade.
this is the url for websocket communication with api server.

I've read about websocket for laravel, but almost are the content about sending socket request from client to server.
If then, in my case, I have to turn on browser all day long to get live market quote.
I want to make it possible to get live market data without turn on browser.
Till my understanding is, in node.js, using socket.io client, it is possible to send websocket request from server to socket server.
But in laravel, I could not find way.
If anyone has experience, please help me.
Thanks.
I'm having a problem using websockets in my backend. I have to re-write some old with golang and old developer using websocket while one client tracking other client's location.
both client connecting websocket with given url
"\(URLConstants.webSocketURL)?token=\(token)&jobId=\(jobId)"
So I thought both client connecting websocket with her/his own token and I need to reflect user's message to other user. I can open two sockets with given url.
It's the first time that I'm using websocket so I'm not sure I'm asking the right question.
You need to send the information to the existing sessions that you stored from opened connection and distribute the information to other users.
Try to go through this solution to get some inspiration https://github.com/suricatatalk/core/blob/master/core.go.
I'm starting with Websockets and I have a problem.
I have a sails.js application that uses sockets to update the client side.
On the client side it makes an API call using socket.get("/api/v1/actor...") to bring all the items of the database. When I see what the WebSocket's traffic on the Chrome console:
As you can see, the connection has been established and the API call has been correctly done through the socket.
The problem is, there is no answer from the server, not even an error.
If I make the same API call using ajax, I get response, but it doesn't work using WebSockets.
Any idea what might be producing this behavior?
EDIT: I add here the code here that processes the request and this one here that sends the request, but the problem is that it never execute this code. I think we we are closer to the find the cause, since we think it has to do with a network problem. We figured there is an F5 reverse-proxy which is not properly set up to handle websockets
The answer didn't make any sense now that I've seen the code that's why I've edited it. I only answered because I could't comment on your question and ask you for the code.
Your calling code seems correct and the server side of things the process of response should be handled automatically by the framework, you only need to return some JSON in the controller method.
I instantiated a copy of the server (just changed the adapters to run it locally) and the server replied to the web socket requests (although I only tested the route '/index').
Normally when the problems are caused by a reverse proxy the socket simply refuses to connect and you can't even send data to server. Does the property "socket.socket.connected" returns true?
The best way to test is to write a small node application with socket.io client and test it in the same machine that the application server is running, then you can exclude network problems.
