django channels with socket.io

Django channels with socket.io demo

Django channels' ProtocolTypeRouter accept any asgi application, socketio can be setup as a asgi app. This makes it possible to use socketio with django channels

setup

cannot use manage.py runserver to serve it

you need to create asgi.py and setup asgi app entry point.

then you go: daphne django_channel.asgi:application

configure socket.io client to use websocket as transport layer protocol

because I only route websocket to consumers, socketio client must use websocket to communicate with the server, other http traffic is routed the traditional way

the chat socketio demo was taken from here
