socket.io for flutter by adhara

supports both Android and iOS

Usage:

See example/lib/main.dart for better example

    SocketIOManager manager = SocketIOManager();
    SocketIO socket = manager.createInstance('http://192.168.1.2:7000/');       //TODO change the port  accordingly
    socket.onConnect((data){
      print("connected...");
      print(data);
      socket.emit("message", ["Hello world!"]);
    });
    socket.on("news", (data){   //sample event
      print("news");
      print(data);
    });
    socket.connect();
    ///disconnect using
    ///manager.

To request callback on ack:

  socket.emitWithAck("message", ["Hello world!"]).then( (data) {
    // this callback runs when this specific message is acknowledged by the server
    print(data);
  });

1. Open example/ios in XCode or example/android in android studio. Build the code once (cd example & flutter build apk | flutter build ios --no-codesign)

2. cd example/socket.io.server

   1 run npm i

   2 run npm start

3. open example/lib/main.dart and edit the URI in #7 to point to your hosted/local socket server instances as mentioned step 2

   For example:

   const String URI = "http://192.168.1.2:7000/";

   const String URI = "http://mysite.com/";

4. run Android/iOS app

This project uses Swift for iOS support, please enable Swift support for your project for this plugin to work

Configure android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" as a property of <application ...> tag in android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

For example:

<application
        android:name="io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication"
        android:label="adhara_socket_io_example"
        android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher">
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"...>...</activity>
