I'm writing a websocket server using nodejs-ws module, but the server can only be at the root of the server, so how I can make it at a child router like localhost:3000/chat?
I need your help, thanks a lot!
Working example:
var ws = require('ws');
var http = require('http');
var httpServer = http.createServer();
httpServer.listen(3000, 'localhost');
var ws1 = new ws.Server({server:httpServer, path:"/chat"});
ws1.on('connection', function(){
console.log("connection on /chat");
});
var ws2 = new ws.Server({server:httpServer, path:"/notifications"});
ws2.on('connection', function(){
console.log("connection on /notifications");
});
could you please tell me how to use this in express?
To route websockets with Express I'd rather use express-ws-routes
var express = require('express');
var app = require('express-ws-routes')();
app.websocket('/myurl', function(info, cb, next) {
console.log(
'ws req from %s using origin %s',
info.req.originalUrl || info.req.url,
info.origin
);
cb(function(socket) {
socket.send('connected!');
});
});
