Connecting after authentication about angular-socket-io HOT 7 CLOSED

One option is to use resolve in your routes. Another would be to have a service that returns a promise that eventually resolves to the socket instance once the auth finishes.

Without knowing how your authentication works, I can't offer any definitive advice.

I'm assuming you have some sort of server-side flow that sets cookies as a response back from the server which is why you need to refresh.

As far as angular-socket-io is concerned, there's no reason you can't invoke the socketFactory after some auth handshake with the server.

That is actually quite helpful, and yes that is exactly correct. I set some cookies based on the response from the server. How would I go about invoking the socketFactory later? Right now I'm including it in a controller that shouldn't get used until you move to an inner page.

Great thanks! I'll give these a try.

I ended up creating a promise in my socket factory that resolves after authentication when it receives an event broadcast from the auth service. Seems to be working good so far.

Any chance to have a sample example for the promise you implemented in your factory ? Thanks a lot

Like it is said here : https://github.com/rakeshok/socket.io-client-cookie
If you want to check for authentification you need to get the cookie. Or socket.io-client does not allow to send cookies apparently ....
If someone find a fix or a wait to use the patch in angular, I'll take it =)
