Baraka Socket Server

Sets the auction's isLive flag to true in the database. Broadcasts auctionStarted to all connected clients (not just room members). Must be called before anyone can join.

socket.emit('startLiveAuction', {
  auctionId: 42,
});  // userId resolved from JWT token

Checks that the auction is live, adds the client to the Socket.IO room auction_{'{'}auctionId{'}'}, and increments the user count. If the auction is not live yet, an error is sent back.

socket.emit('joinAuction', {
  auctionId: 42,
});

Removes the client from the room and decrements the viewer count. Also triggers automatically on socket disconnect.

socket.emit('leaveAuction', {
  auctionId: 42,
});

Notifies the room that the broadcaster (auction owner) has left the live video stream. The server validates ownership before broadcasting.

socket.emit('broadCasterLeave', {
  auctionId: 42,
});  // ownership verified via JWT userId

Persists a new comment to the database and broadcasts the updated comment list to all room members.

socket.emit('comment', {
  auctionId: 42,
  comment:   'Great item! Starting the bidding.',
});  // userId resolved from JWT token

Validates the bid amount against the last bid, persists it to Auction_bids, and broadcasts the updated bid list to the room.

socket.emit('placeBid', {
  auctionId: 42,
  amount:    1500,
});  // userId resolved from JWT token

Sets isCanceled = true and isLive = false. Notifies all room members.

socket.emit('cancelAuction', {
  auctionId: 42,
});  // ownership verified via JWT userId

Sets isEnded = true and isLive = false. Used to close the auction session without awarding. For awarding a winner use awardingAuction.

socket.emit('endAuction', {
  auctionId: 42,
});  // ownership verified via JWT userId

Finds the highest bid for the current product, creates a winnings record, clears all bids & comments for the auction, then resets the current product fields back to empty. Broadcasts the result to the room.

socket.emit('awardingAuction', {
  auctionId: 42,
  product:   'Gold Ring – 18K',
  weight:    '5.2g',
});  // ownership verified via JWT userId

Updates the auction's current_product, bidPrice, minBidPrice, and actualPrice in the database, then broadcasts the new state to all room members.

socket.emit('changeCuurentProduct', {
  auctionId:   42,
  product:     'Silver Necklace – 925',
  minBidPrice: 800,
  bidPrice:    1000,
  actualPrice: 1400,
});

Emitted globally (not room-scoped) when an auction goes live. Use this to update the auction list UI for all users.

socket.on('auctionStarted', (auction) => {
  console.log('Auction is now live!', auction);
  // Update your auction list UI
});

Triggered whenever a user joins, leaves, or disconnects from an auction room. Show live viewer count.

socket.on('userCountUpdate', ({ auctionId, userCount }) => {
  console.log(`Viewers in auction ${auctionId}: ${userCount}`);
});

Fired after a comment is successfully persisted. Returns both the new comment object and the full ordered comment list.

socket.on('newComment', ({ newComment, comments }) => {
  // Append newComment to chat, or replace entire list
  setComments(comments);
});

Fired after a bid is validated and persisted. Returns the new bid and the full bids list sorted newest-first.

socket.on('newBid', ({ newBid, auctionBids }) => {
  console.log(`New bid: ${newBid.bid} by ${newBid.user.name}`);
  setBids(auctionBids);
});

The auction was canceled by the owner. Redirect or dismiss the live screen.

socket.on('auctionCanceled', ({ auctionId, message }) => {
  showAlert(message);
  navigate('/auctions');
});

The auction was closed normally via endAuction (without awarding). No winner is declared.

socket.on('auctionFinished', ({ auctionId, message }) => {
  showAlert(message);
});

A product round was awarded via awardingAuction. Contains the winning bid, winning user, and the reset auction state. Bids & comments are already cleared at this point.

socket.on('auctionEnded', ({ auction, winningBid, winningUser }) => {
  if (winningUser) {
    console.log(`Winner: ${winningUser.name} with bid ${winningBid.bid}`);
  } else {
    console.log('No bids placed.');
  }
  // Reset bids and comments UI
});

Notifies room members that the active product has changed. Update the product display and reset bid input accordingly.

socket.on('auction_change_product', (data) => {
  setCurrentProduct(data.product);
  setMinBid(data.minBidPrice);
  setStartingBid(data.bidPrice);
  setActualPrice(data.actualPrice);
});

The auction owner has left the live video stream. Show a "Broadcaster disconnected" message to viewers.

socket.on('broadCasterLeft', ({ auctionId }) => {
  showBanner('The broadcaster has left. Please wait...');
});

Sent privately to the client that triggered an invalid action. Always listen for this to surface server-side validation errors in your UI.

socket.on('error', ({ message }) => {
  showToast(message, 'error');
});
