github socketio/socket.io 4.5.0

Bug Fixes

  • typings: ensure compatibility with TypeScript 3.x (#4259) (02c87a8)

Features

  • add support for catch-all listeners for outgoing packets (531104d)

This is similar to onAny(), but for outgoing packets.

Syntax:

socket.onAnyOutgoing((event, ...args) => {
  console.log(event);
});
  • broadcast and expect multiple acks (8b20457)

Syntax:

io.timeout(1000).emit("some-event", (err, responses) => {
  // ...
});
  • add the "maxPayload" field in the handshake details (088dcb4)

So that clients in HTTP long-polling can decide how many packets they have to send to stay under the maxHttpBufferSize
value.

This is a backward compatible change which should not mandate a new major revision of the protocol (we stay in v4), as
we only add a field in the JSON-encoded handshake data:

0{"sid":"lv_VI97HAXpY6yYWAAAC","upgrades":["websocket"],"pingInterval":25000,"pingTimeout":5000,"maxPayload":1000000}
