IBM.Socket-IO

Offers the ability to connect to Socket.IO servers using C#. Built using .NET Standard 2.0.

Example

The following C# code works for .NET 4.7.2:

this.mediator = new SocketMediator(this.endpointUrl);
var task = this.mediator.InitConnection(new SampleHttpClientFactory(), new ClientSocketFactory());
var awaiter = task.GetAwaiter();

awaiter.OnCompleted(() => 
{
    if(task.IsFaulted)
    {
      this.ShowError("Could not connect to endpointUrl!");
    }
    else
    {
        this.ShowMessage("Connected Successfully");
    }
});

Known Limitations

Currently connecting to Socket.IO rooms is the only supported connection method.

To connect to a Socket.IO server, use a URL such as:

http://localhost:3000/myroom

So far referencing this library in a .NET 4.7 project works but not in ASP.NET Core. When connecting inside an ASP.NET Core project, the final handshake hangs. However in .NET 4.7 handshake succeeds and emit() works just fine.

We are open to contributions and fixes for why this library fails in ASP.NET Core!
