Socket.io client plugin for firefox / Google chrome

Question

Are there any Firefox / Google Chrome plugin for quickly testing Socket.io server implementations?

Answer 1

I have also created my own Chrome and Firefox extension. You can also run it from command line. It is available here: https://github.com/serajhqi/socketio-test-client

Firefox addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/socketio-client/

Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/socketio-test-client/ophmdkgfcjapomjdpfobjfbihojchbko

Answer 2

Firecamp, Here is the website.

Real-time programming is easy but too hard in terms of testing and debugging, This is the main reason I have built Firecamp, It's a visual testing dev tool for any RealTime technology or platform like Socket.IO, WebSocket, Ably, Pusher and lot more.

To test a SocketIO backend, you just need to follow 3 steps,

1. Connect server end-point
2. Add/Listen listeners
3. Emit emitter with a payload

Then you can save the whole configuration to use it in the future, save emitters payload and export/import for the mobility purpose would be very handy features for sharing.

I built this tool for the same, its not a plugin but can used for the same purpose (even if it was a plugin, it would open up a new tab in the browser with the UI).

Advantages of making it available online is, the links can be shared among teams - teammates can directly click and use without filling any of the text fields.
