Dynamic namespaces in socket.io

Question

JavaScript

I'm trying to implement dynamic spaces in socket.io, but I'm running into various bugs. There are many questions on the Internet on this issue, but few normal answers. Here is my implementation:

app.get '/:namespace', (req, res) ->
  namespace = '/' + req.params.namespace

  # Is already created namespace?
  namespaceExist = io.sockets.manager.namespaces[namespace]?

  # Send responce
  res.json yes

  return if namespaceExist

  # Socket.io
  io.of(namespace).on 'connection', (socket) ->
    # do something 

Customer:

$.getJSON server, {}, (yes) =>
     socket = io.connect server
     # do something  

But I ran into a bug: if it connects to the server, then restart the server (wait until the client reconnects) and try to reconnect - nothing happens.

Does anyone know how to properly organize dynamic namespaces?

Answer 1

1) What prevents you from using the rooms ?
2) You can do this:

io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket){

        var namespace = '/' + socket.handshake.namespace.toLowerCase();
        
        if (!io.namespaces[namespace]){

            io.of(namespace).on('connection', function(socket){

            });
        }
});

Transfer the name of the neimspace to the authorization function and save it accordingly in the handshake.
