socket.on('receiveMessage',(data)=>print("data")) called twice

[jabonge]

socket = IO.io("myserverurl", <String, dynamic>{
'transports': ['websocket']
});
socket.nsp = "/chats";

    socket.on("receiveMessage", (data) {
      print("from socket $data");
             });
    socket.connect();
    socket.emit("join", {"Id": "id"});

server code
io.of('nsp').to('id').('receiveMessage',message);

Came across the same issue. Apparently calling .connect() causes all event handlers to get registered/fired twice.

Try removing the connect() call, the socket should automatically connect.

You can also add "'autoConnect': false" option to optional parameters list to stop socket from auto-connecting. In that case you will have to call connect() manually.

[bastibense]

Still, shouldn't this at least print out a warning to the log or just ignore a second call to connect()?

@bastibense I reopen it, and it looks like the behavior is not the same as JS version.

front end ----

IO.Socket? socket;
@OverRide
void initState() {
super.initState();
// connect();

focusNode.addListener(() {
  if (focusNode.hasFocus) {
    setState(() {
      show = false;
    });

connect();

}

void connect() {
// MessageModel messageModel = MessageModel(sourceId: widget.sourceChat.id.toString(),targetId: );
socket = IO.io("https://studiovity.com/", <String, dynamic>{
"transports": ["websocket"],
// "autoConnect": true,

// socket!.connect();
socket!.emit("signin", widget.sourchat.id);
socket!.onConnect((data) {
print("Connected");
socket!.on("message", (msg) {
print(msg);
setMessage("destination", msg["message"]);
_scrollController.animateTo(_scrollController.position.maxScrollExtent,

print(socket!.connected);
}
