socket.io install result
socket.io@0.9.14 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/socket.io
├── base64id@0.1.0
├── policyfile@0.0.4
├── redis@0.7.3
└── socket.io-client@0.9.11
here is my code(app.js)
var app = require('express')()
, server = require('http').createServer(app)
, io = require('socket.io').listen(server);
server.listen(80);
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.sendfile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});
io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
socket.emit('news', { hello: 'world' });
socket.on('my other event', function (data) {
console.log(data);
});
});
and node_modules directory contains socket.io and express packages.
I am trying to run server like this
$ node app.js
how to resolve it?
