#### What version of Sails is this for?
This hook is for Sails v1.0 and up.
> Prior to Sails v1.0, this hook was a dependency of Sails core. But now, it is now installed as a direct dependency of your Sails app.
#### What is this? What does it do?
This repo contains a hook, one of the building blocks Sails is made out of.
This hook's responsibilities are:
+ When initialized...
+ fire up socket.io server
+ listen for connect / disconnect events
+ listen for get/post/put/delete/patch events
+ create bare-bones request and response contexts, then pass them to the core interpreter in Sails to be routed on the fly.
+ Bind after "shadow" routes...
+ GET /__getcookie
+ Expose on the sails app object:
+ sails.sockets.* _(see Reference > WebSockets > sails.sockets)_

> For reproducibility, we always pin 3rd party dependencies to a specific version, using a consistent verified version string when possible (see kit).

#### Running the tests
First, clone this repo, cd into it, and install dependencies:
``sh`
git clone https://github.com/EMSA-TECHNOLOGY/blue-prod-hook-sockets.git
cd blue-prod-hook-sockets
npm install
##### Run them all
To run all the tests, start a local redis server on port 6380 and then run the tests using mocha:
`sh`
redis-server --port 6380 --requirepass 'secret'
npm test
##### Run only certain tests
Alternatively, you can run a particular set of tests with:
`sh``
node ./node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha -g 'without session'
> (this may be useful if you don't want to wait for all the tests to run, or e.g. if you aren't able to install a redis server locally. However please make sure all the tests pass before submitting a PR.)
