Support for SocketIO and realtime document and event listeners

[nikkothari22]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Since Frappe supports realtime socket communication via SocketIO, we can add support for the same.

Describe the solution you'd like We need the following:

1. Ability to set SocketIO port in FrappeApp2.
2. Ability to start a listener, execute a custom callback function and stop the listener. This would be similar to Firebase Realtime listeners (onSnapshot), but can be run on any type of event that's triggered from the backend.
3. Ability to "listen" to documents (coupled with getDoc) or queries (lists - coupled with getDocList). This would allow developers to always get the latest value from the database whenever the socket event is fired. We can even give the ability to listen to a different event (instead of update_doc) and fetch the latest value.

first of alll , tks for your big effort on frappe-js-sdk,

I have also tried to build it myself and consulted with @Build With Hussain. The suggestion given was to integrate with frappe-ui. However, when it comes to integrating it with my own Vue project, I still don't fully understand the authorization part. The issue has been stuck at "message":"Unauthorized: Error: Not Found".

@Build With Hussain provided the integration process for frappe-ui. https://github.com/frappe/frappe-ui/blob/main/src/utils/socketio.js

However, it seems that this only supports authorization using username and password, and it cannot be used with tokens.

Therefore,@nikkothari22 it is suggested to open up the idea so that everyone can share and improve the integration of socketio in frappe-js-sdk.

Frappe only supports cookie based authentication for socket connections as far as I know. So adding support for API key based authentication for socket needs to be done in the Frappe framework (backend). We already have socket connections on frappe-react-SDK and they only work for cookie based auth as well.

As per docs it supports token based auth also
