Socket.io Client: respond to all events with one handler?

by

Updated solution for socket.io-client 1.3.7

var onevent = socket.onevent;
socket.onevent = function (packet) {
    var args = packet.data || [];
    onevent.call (this, packet);    // original call
    packet.data = ["*"].concat(args);
    onevent.call(this, packet);      // additional call to catch-all
};

Use like this:

socket.on("*",function(event,data) {
    console.log(event);
    console.log(data);
});

None of the answers worked for me, though the one of Mathias Hopf and Maros Pixel came close, this is my adjusted version.

NOTE: this only catches custom events, not connect/disconnect etc
