Usage

Require fastify-socket.io and register it as any other plugin, it will add a io decorator.

const fastify = require("fastify")();

fastify.register(require("fastify-socket.io"), {
  // put your options here

For more details see examples

You can use it as is without passing any option, or you can configure it as explained by Socket.io doc.

Hook

The plugin also adds an onClose hook which closes the socket server when the fastify instance is closed.

Typescript

The io decorator is NOT typed.

This is necessary to allow, eventually, the developer to be able to define custom types and make use of the socket.io new types system (doc).
