Handling server & namespace
As mentioned on the bootstrapping section, the returned value of the init method is socket server instance.
Although, there are few more way to get the instance of the server.
The getHandler method returns the socket handler object which fits the given id. The handler later can be use for retrieving the socket server instance.
The handler id is stored under the returned server instance of the init process and can be retrieved by the getInstanceId() method.
In case no id passed, the first initialized socket server instance will be returned
In case no server instance found for the given id null will be returned.
SocketHandler.getHandler(id?:string).getServer()
Each socket which pass to the callback, contains the getSocketServer() method. this method returns the socket server instance
Another important object is the namespace instance, this object allows to communicate with sockets under the same namespace.
Similar to the way we retrieve the server instance, we can use the getHandler method for retrieve the SocketHandler object, afterwards we will apply the getNamespace(namespace:string) for getting socket.io namespace object.
SocketHandler.getHandler(id?:string).getNamespace("/")
Each socket which pass to the callback, contains the getSocketNamespace() method. this method returns the socket server instance
