TODO: Write a description here

Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     socket_io:
       github: NeuraLegion/socket_io
   

2. Run shards install

Usage

To get started, require the socket_io library in your Crystal code:

require "socket_io"

Next, create a new Socket.IO client and connect it to the server:

socket = SocketIO::Client.new(host: "<your-hostname>")
socket.connect

You can emit events to the server using the emit method:

socket.emit("hello", "world")

Additionally, you can emit events and expect an acknowledgement from the server:

data = socket.emit_with_ack("hello", "world")

To customize the acknowledgement timeout, you can add the timeout argument:

data = socket.emit_with_ack("hello", "world", timeout: 60.seconds)

To handle incoming events, use the on method as follows:

socket.on("news") do |event|
  puts event.data
end

To acknowledge an event, simply use the ack method as shown below:

socket.on("request") do |event|
  event.ack("response")
end

To remove event listeners, utilize one of the existing methods:

# Remove a specific listener
socket.off("my-event", &my_listener)

# Remove all event listeners for a specific event
socket.off("my-event")

# Remove all event listeners for all events
socket.off_all()
