Send a socket request (virtual GET) to a Sails server using Socket.IO.

io.socket.get(url, data, function (resData, jwres){
  // ...
});

Usage

#
Argument Type Details
1 url String The destination URL path, e.g. "/checkout".
2 data JSON? Optional request data. If provided, it will be URL-encoded and appended to url (existing query string params in url will be preserved).
3 callback Function? Optional callback. If provided, it will be called when the server responds.
Callback
#
Argument Type Details
1 resData JSON Data, if any, sent in the response from the Sails server. This is the same thing as jwres.body.
2 jwres Dictionary A JSON WebSocket response, which consists of headers (a Dictionary), body (JSON), and statusCode (a Number).

Example

#
<script>
io.socket.get('/users/9', function (resData) {
  // resData => {id:9, name: 'Timmy Mendez'}
});
</script>

Notes

#
  • Remember that you can communicate with any of your routes using socket requests.
  • Need to customize request headers? Check out the slightly lower-level io.socket.request() method. To set custom headers for all outgoing requests, check out io.sails.headers.
