title: WebSockets
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
[Socket.IO](http://socket.io/) enables real-time bidirectional event-based communication. It works on every platform, browser or device, focusing equally on reliability and speed.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Configuration:
|
|
|
|
- Key: `websockets`
|
|
- Environment: all
|
|
- Location: `./config/general.json`
|
|
- Type: `boolean`
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
{
|
|
"websockets": true
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
- Set to `false` to disable websockets with [Socket.IO](http://socket.io/).
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
By default Strapi binds [Socket.IO](http://socket.io/) and your common websockets features are available using the `io` object.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
io.on('connection', function (socket) {
|
|
socket.emit('news', {
|
|
hello: 'world'
|
|
});
|
|
socket.on('my other event', function (data) {
|
|
console.log(data);
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
```
