Hi you beautiful people,
I want to implement authentication in my socket io application. it's for a game server. what's best practice? i can't seem to find good resources online. I have little to no boilerplate thus nothing to show yet really.
Thanks!

The usual authentication model?
Send credentials such as username/pass, server sends back a session token, and stores that session token in memory or DB with the user ID, log in time, etc
When the client makes a request the server checks the session, if not valid sends back an auth failed message
