Description

Given that Play! is built on top of Akka-Http, it will be very useful to have the socket-io support available also for play Akka-Http projects and then layer the Play-socket-io on top. Not sure if there is any technical difficulty in doing so.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Play socket.io implementation and the project structure to identify which parts depend on Play and which could form an Akka-HTTP module. Confirm the integration boundary and module layout before making changes. Done means socket.io support works for Akka-HTTP projects without Play, with the Play integration layered on top.
