Handling Messages §

When using SocketIO messages are received from both parties as events, (think back to Discord Development days)

Handling Messages §

Example:

@socketio.on('message')
def handle_message(data):
    print('received message: ' + data)

Different events:

• message
• json
• custom_event (this is something you make/define)
• connect
• disconnect

Sending Messages §

You can use emit or send to send messages in a namespace
