How can I configure SocketIO before it gets initialized. For example If I want to specify redis adapter by default for all gateways with: https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-redis instead of specifying the redis-adapter in each @Gateway decorator?

Couldn't find anything in the docs

Thank you.

I don't have a answer in regards to the docs, but if there's a way to pass it to the gateway, maybe you can define the config in a separate .ts file and import to the gateway file.

This at least reduces some of the redundant code usage.

Yeah this is weird, redis adapter is for Socket.IO at scale, and considering NestJS tends to be a fw for applications at large scales, it's weird that we can't specify a default redis adapter for all Gateways at bootstrap time.

I've found this: https://docs.nestjs.com/websockets/adapter thinking I could just directly pass redisAdapter instead of a custom adapter, but redisAdapter is not compliant to the WebSocketAdapter interface.

I'll update the docs very soon, hopefully today
