Socket cluster implementation for Vuejs 2 leveraging uws

Socket cluster documentation

Install

npm install vue-socket-cluster-client --save

Usage

Configuration

import VueSocketCluster from 'vue-socket-cluster-client';
Vue.use(VueSocketCluster, {
      connections: [{
            name: 'CONNECTION_NAME', // Each connection object must have a name and the name must be unique in the array
            hostname: '127.0.0.1',
            secure: false,
            port: 8000,
            rejectUnauthorized: false
            // Other socket cluster options
      }]
})

Add to the Vuejs instance

add a property CONNECTION_NAME+Events to listen to connection events

var vm = new Vue({
      CONNECTION_NAMEEvents:{
            connect: function(){
                console.log('socket connected')
            },
            CUSTOM_EVENT_NAME: function(data){
                console.log(data)
            },
            // ['error','connect','disconnect','connectAbort','connecting', etc ...] See socket cluster docs
            error () {
                //An error occurred on the connection name echo
            },
            connecting () {
 
            },
            // ...
            // for hyphen separated events such as 'custom-error' use ...
            customError () {
 
            }
      },
      methods: {
            //triggerInstance object = ```connection_name+Client```
            triggerEvent (name, data) {
                this.$CONNECTION_NAMEClient.emit('name', data);
            }
      }
})

Remove existing listener on client

delete this.$options.$CONNECTION_NAMEClient.event_name;

Based on works from nigeltiany/vue-socket-cluster and its contributors This module differs from vue-socket-cluster in that it does not only allows you to add the socket cluster client to the vue instance.
