how to get session id of socket.io client in Client

Question

I want to get session id of client in my socket.io client.

here is my socket.io client :

var socket = new io.Socket(config.host, {port: config.port,          


        

Answer 1

For some reason

socket.on('connect', function() {
    console.log(socket.io.engine.id);
}); 

did not work for me. However

socket.on('connect', function() {
    console.log(io().id);
}); 

did work for me. Hopefully this is helpful for people who also had issues with getting the id. I use Socket IO >= 1.0, by the way.
