`io.socket.get()`

Send a socket request (virtual GET) to a Sails server using Socket.IO.

io.socket.get(url, data, function (resData, jwres){
  // ...
});

Usage

	Argument	Type	Details
1	url	((string))	The destination URL path, e.g. "/checkout".
2	data	((json?))	Optional request data. If provided, it will be URL-encoded and appended to `url` (existing query string params in url will be preserved).
3	callback	((function?))	Optional callback. If provided, it will be called when the server responds.

Callback

	Argument	Type	Details
1	resData	((json))	Data, if any, sent in the response from the Sails server. This is the same thing as `jwres.body`.
2	jwres	((dictionary))	A JSON WebSocket response, which consists of `headers` (a ((dictionary))), `body` (((json))), and `statusCode` (a ((number))).

Example

html

<script>
io.socket.get('/users/9', function (resData) {
  // resData => {id:9, name: 'Timmy Mendez'}
});
</script>

Notes

Remember that you can communicate with any of your routes using socket requests.

Need to customize request headers? Check out the slightly lower-level io.socket.request() method. To set custom headers for all outgoing requests, check out io.sails.headers.
