Is there a way to reasonably check (from within the runtime) the "version" of the socket.io that is running on some machine?

Is there an explicit function for this? like what you would see in package.json?

or should I maybe implement a feature detection type of a way?

What do you think would be best?

Hi! There is currently no explicit way to do this.

As a workaround: require("./node_modules/socket.io/package.json").version
