Catch all event handlers

[Notadumdum]

Is the catch all event handlers available in socket.io client version 4.6.1 and also can so can custom events be emitted and listened to inside the connect event or the have to be outside the connect event

You can check the change log to find out when a feature was added. The catch-all was introduced in 5.4.1.

The connect event is a notification when the connection is established. Probably not a good idea to use it for other purposes.

Is there any 3rd party library that I can use to catch all events fir version 4.6.1?

[miguelgrinberg]

What people did before the catch-all event handler was added is to override the trigger_event method in a class-based namespace.

class MyCustomNamespace(socketio.Namespace):
    def trigger_event(self, event_name, sid, *args):
        print(f"{event_name=}, {sid=}")
        if args:
            print(f"data is {args[0]}")


sio.register_namespace(MyCustomNamespace())
