Edit Question
Title
Body
My main app is a Django app, however, for some realtime stuff, I want to use Node/Socket.IO. I'm using Redis to do some pub/sub from Django to Node (and then on to various clients). The tricky part is how do I authenticate the Node user against the Django auth? In my Node app, I have: io.on('connection', function (socket) { const subscribe = redis.createClient(); var userId = authenticateAndGetUserId(); subscribe.subscribe(userId + ':feed-items'); subscribe.on('message', function (channel, message) { socket.emit('feed-items', JSON.parse(message)); }); }); So my question is what's a good strategy for implementing authenticateAndGetUserId ? The sessions are backed in MySQL, so I can go through there. Just curious if there's a better way to go about it.
