Reuse connection instance #27

Closed mattkrick closed 8 years ago

mattkrick commented 8 years ago

Each call to connect() creates a new connection. If I call this from different components, I'll end up with a bunch of different connections, each with their own subs. Socket.io handles this with a manager & allows for multiplexing.

In socket.io:

s1 = socketIO.connect();
s2 = socketIO.connect();
s1 === s2 //true

Would is be possible to do the same with SC?

Right now you have to make sure you pass around the same socket object to all components which want to share it.

I think we could implement multiplexing functionality. We also should have an option to set multiplex to false just like in Socket.io. A pull request would be welcome.
