is there a way to listen for the heartbeat?

is there a way to listen for the heartbeat event?

i would like to do a store.session.touch(); during this event

If you have the socket connection you can get the heartbeat event by:

socketio.on('connection', function(socket) {
  socket.conn.on('heartbeat', function() {
      console.log('heartbeat');
    });
});

But as above I don’t know if this is the official way to do it!

Note this is for socket.io 1.0.x.

[3rd-Eden]

var handler = socket.manager.transports[socket.id].onMessage;
socket.manager.transports[socket.id].onMessage = function (packet) {
 handler.apply(this, arguments);

 if (packet.type === 'heartbeat') doStuff(); 
}

I don’t want to sound like a dick here but have you guys even taken the time to look at the source code? This is an open source project, there’s no magic, unicorns, compiled coffeescript garbage or secrets. All the answers you guys are searching for is just in the source. Instead of typing +1 just read the source. Exposing a heartbeat interface that emits an event every single time is just pointless overhead for everybody that’s not interested in it.

P.S. I had to search just as hard as everybody else to supply you with that snippet above. Srly, try it click on a source file or just search the source for heartbeat and track it back from there.
