# Socket.IO cluster adapter

The `@socket.io/cluster-adapter` package allows broadcasting packets between multiple Socket.IO servers.

![Adapter diagram](./assets/adapter.png)

It can be used in conjunction with [`@socket.io/sticky`](https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-sticky) to broadcast packets between the workers of the same Node.js [cluster](https://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html).

Supported features:

- [broadcasting](https://socket.io/docs/v4/broadcasting-events/)

- [utility methods](https://socket.io/docs/v4/server-instance/#Utility-methods)

  - [`socketsJoin`](https://socket.io/docs/v4/server-instance/#socketsJoin)

  - [`socketsLeave`](https://socket.io/docs/v4/server-instance/#socketsLeave)

  - [`disconnectSockets`](https://socket.io/docs/v4/server-instance/#disconnectSockets)

  - [`fetchSockets`](https://socket.io/docs/v4/server-instance/#fetchSockets)

  - [`serverSideEmit`](https://socket.io/docs/v4/server-instance/#serverSideEmit)

## Installation

```

npm install @socket.io/cluster-adapter

```

## Usage

```js

const cluster = require("cluster");

const http = require("http");

const { Server } = require("socket.io");

const numCPUs = require("os").cpus().length;

const { setupMaster, setupWorker } = require("@socket.io/sticky");

const { createAdapter, setupPrimary } = require("@socket.io/cluster-adapter");

if (cluster.isMaster) {

  console.log(`Master ${process.pid} is running`);

  const httpServer = http.createServer();

  // setup sticky sessions

  setupMaster(httpServer, {

    loadBalancingMethod: "least-connection",

  });

  // setup connections between the workers

  setupPrimary();

  // needed for packets containing buffers (you can ignore it if you only send plaintext objects)

  // Node.js < 16.0.0

  cluster.setupMaster({

    serialization: "advanced",

  });

  // Node.js > 16.0.0

  // cluster.setupPrimary({

  //   serialization: "advanced",

  // });

  httpServer.listen(3000);

  for (let i = 0; i < numCPUs; i++) {

    cluster.fork();

  }

  cluster.on("exit", (worker) => {

    console.log(`Worker ${worker.process.pid} died`);

    cluster.fork();

  });

} else {

  console.log(`Worker ${process.pid} started`);

  const httpServer = http.createServer();

  const io = new Server(httpServer);

  // use the cluster adapter

  io.adapter(createAdapter());

  // setup connection with the primary process

  setupWorker(io);

  io.on("connection", (socket) => {

    /* ... */

  });

}

```
