Django channels with socket.io demo
Django channels' ProtocolTypeRouter accept any asgi application, socketio can be setup as a asgi app. This makes it possible to use socketio with django channels
setup
cannot use manage.py runserver
to serve it
you need to create asgi.py and setup asgi app entry point.
then you go: daphne django_channel.asgi:application
configure socket.io client to use websocket as transport layer protocol
because I only route websocket to consumers, socketio client must use websocket to communicate with the server, other http traffic is routed the traditional way
the chat socketio demo was taken from here
