so I am creating a module for the members that are using my services (cloudlist.xyz).
basically, we have a voting system in our service, this module is making a connection using socket io on the server and socket io client on the module, announcing to the user when someone votes on it
Everything is working normally, but when I restart the server to do some maintenance, all users are disconnected from socket io even when the server is on again
Server side code :
var server = app.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000, () => {
console.log("Your app is listening on port " + server.address().port)
});
var io = require('socket.io')(server)
io.on("connection",function(socket) {
console.log("Someone Joined to our server api!")
})
//that's the part that he emits the event when someone votes
io.of(`vote/${bot}`).emit("voted", user_votes.val());
Module/client side:
var https = require('https');
const { EventEmitter } = require("events");
var fetch = require('node-fetch')
const io = require("socket.io-client");
module.exports = class Cloud_client extends EventEmitter {
constructor(id, token) {
super();
if (!id) throw new Error("Missing client instance on contructor");
if (!token) throw new Error("Missing token on constructor");
this.id = id;
this.token = token;
this.socket = io.connect(`https://www.cloudlist.xyz/vote/${id}`, {
reconnect:true,
autoConnect:true,
reconnectionDelay: 1000,
reconnectionDelayMax : 5000,
reconnectionAttempts: Infinity
});
this.socket.on("connect", () => this.emit("connected"));
this.socket.on("disconnect", (...args) => {this.socket.open();
});
this.socket.on("voted", (...args) => this.emit("voted", ...args));
};
this is an example of someone using the module:
var cdl = require("cloud-list")
var cloud_client = new cdl("701456902160121966","5669556617e2a070ada1688")
cloud_client.on("connected", (data) => {
console.log(`Connected to the api Server`)
})
cloud_client.on("voted", (data) => {
console.log(`Thanks,user ${data.user_name} for voting on us :)`)
})
When I connect to the server, it sends the message of this example saying “Connected to the api Server”, but when I restart the server, I don’t receive anything. Already tried this.socket.on("disconnect", (...args) => {this.socket.open()});
or this.socket.on("disconnect", (...args) => {this.socket.connect()});
,but still the same thing,user can’t reconnect again.
the only way for users to connect again is to restart his project, which is very bad
