I'd like to be notified of when someone has connected to my session externally.

Summary

Since logConnections: true only emits a single Browser Connected: . . . line, bs has to expose the client's ip address from the socket event.

So, I am using the following code to be notified of new connections:

const nodeNotifier = require('node-notifier');
const bsUtils = require('browser-sync/dist/utils');
const emitter = browserSync.emitter;

emitter.on("client:connected", function ( data ) {
	let uaString = bsUtils.getUaString(data.ua);
	
	console.log(chalk`{green Connected:}`,
		`${uaString.name} version ${uaString.version}, IP: ${data.ip}`);

	// Additionally make a toast notification, if ( data.ip is external )
	nodeNotifier.notify({
		title: 'Browser connected',
		message: `${uaString.name} version ${uaString.version}, IP: ${data.ip}`,
		sound: false
	});

});

emitter.on("client:disconnected", function ( data ) {
	let uaString = bsUtils.getUaString(data.ua);
	
	console.log(chalk`{red Disconnected:}`,
		`${uaString.name} version ${uaString.version}`, chalk`{yellow IP:}`, `${data.ip}`);
});

Without exposing handshake.address and client.on("disconnect", { . . . }) methods, it's impossible to acquire the client's ip address and thus be notified of such events.

Scope

This PR exposes socket.io's following properties in order to write custom event listeners:

  • handshake.address
  • client.on("disconnect", { . . . })

Status

  • this PR does not seem to break any functionality.

Feedback

Would be glad to hear from you!
