Features Overview
Select connection type
Socket.IO Tester playground supports both Socket.IO and native socket. Of course, in the case of the latter, a simple interface is displayed.
Configure Socket.IO connection
If you need to pass a connection configuration object, You can do so by clicking the wheel icon, next to the connection address bar. In the subsequent modal, any JS object literal can be used.
Listen to all events
Checking the "listen to all incoming events" option will cause the playground to simply present any incoming event. If you wish to register specific events manually, it can be done via the input field.
Wait for callback(acknowledgement), auto resend
Checking "Wait for callback" will cause the playground to send an additional "callback" parameter to the Socket.IO server, and await its acknowledgement during 5 seconds. Checking "Automatically resend this message on reconnect" will cause the playground to automatically resend the current outgoing event, in case the program automatically reconnects. This is especially useful when "joining" a room.
