[V6] how to run socket.io, where to get server instance

[MrAhmedElkady]

It seems that the discussion is closed or you have found the answer, but for those looking for the solution, here is my code. You can use adonisServer as shown in the following code.

start/socket.ts

import adonisServer from '@adonisjs/core/services/server'
import { Server } from 'socket.io'
import UsersController from '#controllers/users_controller'

const io = new Server(adonisServer.getNodeServer())

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

    const socketController = new UsersController();
    socketController.handleMessage({ socket, io });
    socket.on("test", (args) => {
        socketController.handleTest({ socket, args });
    });
});

In my case, I am directing the socket to a controller for clearer usage, as shown in the following code:

export default class UsersController {


  public handleMessage({ socket, io }: { socket: any, io: any }) {
    socket.emit("message", "world");
  }

  public async handleTest({ socket, args }: { socket: any, args: any }) {

    console.log(args);

  }
}
