How to write a token to a socket as a global variable?

Question

JavaScript

I need to pass a token on every request to the server via socket.io. Why not write it every time in the data that I pass to the server?
I have seen this method:

var socket = io.connect('http://localhost:9000', {
  'query': 'token=' + your_token
});

However, on the server, I don't see this line when outputting the entire socket object to the console. And I don’t know how to change it on the fly, except without reconnect. Are there any ideas?

Answer 1

Move the declaration to the global scope, and where the assignment is, remove the var
