socket.js

server/socket.js

This module exports a single function that sets event handlers on a provided socket.io instance (io).

Usage

const io = require('socket.io')(http);
const handleSocketIOEvents = require('./server/socket.js');

handleSocketIOEvents(io);

Event Handlers

'connection'

This event is triggered when a client connects to the server. It logs 'New client connected' to the console and sets further event handlers on the individual client's socket.

'updateScore'

This event is expected to be emitted by clients. It should be passed an object (data) that represents the new score. It forwards this information to all connected sockets by emitting a 'scoreUpdate' event.

{
  // Clients should emit the 'updateScore' event as follows
  'updateScore', { /* score object */ };
}

The function broadcasts the received data object to all connected sockets (clients) by emitting 'scoreUpdate' event.

'disconnect'

This event is triggered when a client disconnects from the server (either intentionally or due to network errors). The function logs 'Client disconnected' to the console when this event received from a client.

In general, this module serves the purpose of handling socket connections, receiving updates from the client about score changes and broadcasting these updates to all the clients, and handling disconnections.
