Socket.io Guidence

Description

Your Real Name Janet (and Mustafe)

What do you want to happen? I want to be able to access user context from passport/session while using socket.io and the socket.io pg adapter.

What is actually happening? I am able to successfully create a table row with socket.io and socket.io pg adapter. However, now I'd like to have access to req.user.id and other properties. And perhaps the answer is I just have to send that user from the client side instead of having the convenience of retrieving it from passport... Since passport is not directly compatible with socket.io

What did you try? Who did you ask?

googling, spiking with Mustafe.

it looks like there should be a way to integrate passport with socket.io but I don't know enough about the staring repo infrastructure to apply what they're trying to tell me in the documentation (it's not great documentation). I don't know enough about middleware, passport etc to apply.

What branch is your code on? Did you git push?

When was the last time you took a break?

just came back from a dinner with some girlies!

Hi Dane, I cited this in the issue. I've looked over this resource. Looking for guidance on how to parse through it and what I need to apply with our repo infrastructure
