Hi, I have in my app.modules.ts this: const config: SocketIoConfig = { url: ${environment.host}, options: {} }; … imports: [ … SocketIoModule.forRoot(config) ],

Yes you can, first add option autoConnect : false const config: SocketIoConfig = { url: ${environment.host}, options: { autoConnect : false } };

then, in Socketservices.ts create a method Connect() with params as you want. Now you can call the method and reconfigure the connections and options of socket instance.

Example:

Connect(options){
    this.socket.ioSocket.io.opts.query = { token: 'minuevotoken' } //new options
    this.socket.ioSocket.io.uri = "http://localhost:3001" //new uri
    this.socket.connect(); //manually connection
}

@feof The socket connection automatically establishes at bootstrap because of the configuration in App module. If you want to connect socket manually, a workaround could be to disconnect socket connection (this.socket.disconnect()) at bootstrap and connect (this.socket.connect()) again whenever it’s needed.
