Integration Guide

Install the official Socket.io client to begin:

To connect, use your Project ID in the URL and provide your API Key in the query parameters. You can also specify an optional Sub-Namespace.

import { io } from "socket.io-client";

const API_KEY = "your_api_key_here";
const PROJECT_ID = "your_project_id";
const SUB_NAMESPACE = "chat"; // Optional sub-channel

const socket = io(`https://raas.example.com/project_${PROJECT_ID}`, {
  query: {
    apiKey: API_KEY,
    namespace: SUB_NAMESPACE
    }
});

Create and join dynamic rooms for targeted messaging.

socket.emit("join_room", {
                          room: "lobby"
                        });

socket.emit("message", {
                          room: "lobby",
                          data: { text: "Hi Room!" }
                        });

The platform uses a unified `message` event for cross-client communication.

socket.on("message", (payload) => {
                  // payload.data = your payload
                });

socket.emit("message", {
                  text: "Hello!",
                  timestamp: Date.now()
                });
