adhara_socket_io

socket.io for flutter by adhara

supports both Android and iOS

Usage:

See example/lib/main.dart for better example

	Future<void> socketConfig() async {
		SocketIOManager manager = SocketIOManager();
		SocketIO socket = await manager.createInstance('http://192.168.1.2:7000/');       //TODO change the port  accordingly
		socket.onConnect((data){
		  print("connected...");
		  print(data);
		  socket.emit("message", ["Hello world!"]);
		});
		socket.on("news", (data){   //sample event
		  print("news");
		  print(data);
		});
		socket.connect();
		///disconnect using
		///manager.
	}

	socketConfig();

To request callback on ack:

  socket.emitWithAck("message", ["Hello world!"]).then( (data) {
    // this callback runs when this specific message is acknowledged by the server
    print(data);
  });

Running example:

1. Open example/ios in XCode or example/android in android studio. Build the code once (cd example & flutter build apk | flutter build ios --no-codesign)

2. cd example/socket.io.server

   1 run npm i

   2 run npm start

3. open example/lib/main.dart and edit the URI in #7 to point to your hosted/local socket server instances as mentioned step 2

   For example:

   const String URI = "http://192.168.1.2:7000/";

   const String URI = "http://mysite.com/";

4. run Android/iOS app
