Node.js client for a socket.io server

That should be possible using Socket.IO-client: https://github.com/LearnBoost/socket.io-client

Adding in example for solution given earlier. By using socket.io-client https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client

Client Side:

//client.jsvar io = require('socket.io-client');var socket = io.connect('http://localhost:3000', {reconnect: true});// Add a connect listenersocket.on('connect', function (socket) {    console.log('Connected!');});socket.emit('CH01', 'me', 'test msg');

Server Side :

//server.jsvar app = require('express')();var http = require('http').Server(app);var io = require('socket.io')(http);io.on('connection', function (socket){   console.log('connection');  socket.on('CH01', function (from, msg) {    console.log('MSG', from, ' saying ', msg);  });});http.listen(3000, function () {  console.log('listening on *:3000');});

Run :

Open 2 console and run node server.js and node client.js

After installing socket.io-client:

npm install socket.io-client

This is how the client code looks like:

var io = require('socket.io-client'),socket = io.connect('http://localhost', {    port: 1337,    reconnect: true});socket.on('connect', function () { console.log("socket connected"); });socket.emit('private message', { user: 'me', msg: 'whazzzup?' });
