You can attach session with socket and get in connection event. Get the user session in authorization, if you're using express then do this:
var sessionStore = new express.session.MemoryStore();
io.set('authorization', function (handshake, accept){
var cookies = require('express/node_modules/cookie').parse(handshake.headers.cookie);
var parsed = require('express/node_modules/connect/lib/utils').parseSignedCookies(cookies, 'SESSION_SECRET');
sessionStore.get(parsed.sid, function (error, session){
if (session != null && session.user != null){
accept(null, true);
handshake.session = session;
}
});
});
And in your connection event you can get it like:
socket.handshake.session
