Socket.IO Client Library for Unity (mono / .NET 4.x, Unity 2019.4.2.f1 LTS)

socket.io-unity by floatinghotpot is a very good project, but it had some problems with me. For example in the use of Action or Func. Exactly I could not use UniRx.

Installation

Download on release page socket.io-unity.unitypackage and import into Unity.

It's a C# file from a DLL inside a unity project.

Usage

unity player settings - other settings - configuration

• Api Compatibility Level : .NET 4.x

// unity c# code
using Socket.Quobject.SocketIoClientDotNet.Client;
using UnityEngine;

public class TestObject : MonoBehaviour {
  private QSocket socket;

  void Start () {
    Debug.Log ("start");
    socket = IO.Socket ("http://localhost:3000");

    socket.On (QSocket.EVENT_CONNECT, () => {
      Debug.Log ("Connected");
      socket.Emit ("chat", "test");
    });

    socket.On ("chat", data => {
      Debug.Log ("data : " + data);
    });
  }

  private void OnDestroy () {
    socket.Disconnect ();
  }
}

// node js code
const app = require('express')();
const http = require('http').createServer(app);
const io = require('socket.io')(http);
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
    res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});
io.on('connection', (socket) => {
  console.log('a user connected');
  socket.on('chat message', (msg) => {
    io.emit('chat message', msg);
  });
  socket.on('disconnect', () => {
    console.log('user disconnected');
  });
});
http.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Connected at 3000');
});
