I recently changed over to connecting to a namespace on the socket.
Previously the connection was working fine and my Vuex mutations were catching the emission from the server.
After switching to the namespace I have verified that the connection is being made and the correct event is firing on the socket, but my Vuex mutation is no longer firing.
Here is the applicable code:
Server Side
const complianceNamespace = IO.of("/compliance");
complianceNamespace.on("connection", function (socket) {
socket.on("UPDATE_REQUEST_SERVICE", function (requestService) {
IO.emit("UPDATE_REQUEST_SERVICE", requestService);
});
socket.on("ADD_REQUEST_SERVICE", function (requestService) {
IO.emit("ADD_REQUEST_SERVICE", requestService)
});
});
Client Side
const SocketInstance = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development' ? socketio('http://localhost:3001/compliance') : socketio('https://real.address.com/compliance');
Vue.use(new VueSocketIO({
debug: false,
connection: SocketInstance,
vuex: {
store,
actionPrefix: 'SOCKET_',
mutationPrefix: 'SOCKET_'
}
}));
// Mutation
SOCKET_UPDATE_REQUEST_SERVICE(state, requestService) {
// some code runs
}
Again, I have verified that the socket is getting to UPDATE_REQUEST_SERVICE, but the mutation is never being run when the socket emits, it worked when not using namespace.
I am thinking that the prefix is altered or doesn't work when using a namespace?
Answer: mistake within the namespace connection event listeners. I was setting up a connection with the namespace (complianceNamespace) then emitting events to a different connection (IO).
Correction code:
