Socket.io specifying heartbeat

Question

I can\'t seem to find out how to set the heartbeat options for socket.io? I\'d love to be able to specify what happens when a \"timemout\" happens, and when the server hasn\

Answer 1

For me the following worked:

var app = express(); 
var server = require('http').createServer(app); 
var io = require('socket.io')(server); 

io.set('heartbeat timeout', 4000); 
io.set('heartbeat interval', 2000);

For package dependency versions:

"express": "^4.12.3",
"socket.io": "1.0"
