[FIXED] How do I use a socket on multiple viewcontrollers? swift-socket.io

Issue

i want create 1 connection And use it on multiple viewcontrollers without creating a new connection

this is my code for connection :

let manager = SocketManager(socketURL: URL(string: "https://mr-fast.liara.run")!, config: [.log(true), .compress])
var socket : SocketIOClient!
socket = manager.defaultSocket
socket.connect()

Solution

You can use Singleton pattern for this:

class SocketHandler {
    private init(){}
    static let shared = SocketHandler()

    private let manager = SocketManager(socketURL: URL(string: "https://mr-fast.liara.run")!, config: [.log(true), .compress])
    private(set) lazy var socket = manager.defaultSocket
}

Now you can access it from anywhere like:

SocketHandler.shared.socket.connect()

_{Note that this is just an example, you may want to use different names or use initializer to assign values to the variables.}
