# socket.io-express

`socket.io-express` is a library for using express session for authorization of socket.io-connections.

Tested with socket.io 0.9.10 and express 3

# usage

``` js

    express...

    var express = require('express')

    var RedisStore = require('connect-redis')(express);

    var redisStore = new RedisStore( { host:config.redis.address, port: config.redis.port });

    var cookieParser = express.cookieParser('supersecret');

    app.configure(function(){

    ... // your configurations

    app.use(cookieParser);

    app.use(express.session({store: redisStore}));

    ... // your configurations

    });

    socket.io...

    var authFunction = require('./socket.io-express.js').createAuthFunction(cookieParser, redisStore);

    io.set('authorization', authFunction);

# meta

There were a lot of inaccurate blog posts of how to use express (v.3) sessions with socket.io,

so I created this simple library.
