codeigniter & node js integration with now js - how to access view files
Here is how ii made codeigniter and nodejs talk to each other.
i have my codeigniter app running on http://mydomain.com/controller/function/ and i have my nodejs(nowjs) running on http://mydomain.com:8080 ,
users will use codeigniter URL and when open the page, i have this script on my CI view page that connects to my Nodejs app, something similar to this :
<script src="http://mydomain.com:8080/nowjs/now.js"></script><script>$(document).ready(function(){ now.receiveMessage = function(name, message){ $("#messages").append("<br>" + name + ": " + message); } // Send message to people in the same group $("#send-button").click(function(){ now.distributeMessage($("#text-input").val()); $("#text-input").val(""); }); now.name = prompt("What's your name?", ""); // on establishing 'now' connection, set server room and allow message sending now.ready(function(){ // Pick up list of available chatrooms from server and populate dropdown setServerRoomFromList(now.serverRoomsList); // By default pick the first chatroom now.changeRoom($('#server-room').val()); // Connection established and room set; allow user to start sending messages $("#send-button").removeAttr('disabled'); }); // On change of drop down, clear text and change server room $('#server-room').change(function(){ $("#messages").html(''); now.changeRoom($('#server-room').val()); });});// populate the #server-room dropdown function setServerRoomFromList(roomList){ $('#server-room').empty(); $.each(roomList, function(key, value) { $('#server-room'). append($("<option></option>"). attr("value",key). text(value)); });}</script>
ant they can talk to each other very well !!
