Sockito Concept

Sockito is a real-time framework based on Socket.io and Express. The goal is to keep all the logic of the messages separated in routes, models, controllers and middleware.

Installation

Download this repository and

node app.js

App.js

var app = require('express')();
var server = require('http').Server(app);
server.listen(80);

var io = require('socket.io')(server);
var Router = require('./router.js');

var router = new Router(io);
var MessageController = require('./Controllers/MessageController');

app.get('/', function (req, res) {
    res.sendfile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});

router.on('message/create', MessageController.create);
router.on('message/destroy', MessageController.destroy);
router.on('message/update', () => {
    console.log('cannot update message');
});

Controllers

Add your message logic on the controller. You can access the incoming data sent by the client in req.input. Send a response to the socket using res.emit().

class MessageController {

    create(req, res)
    {
        console.log('message created: ');
        console.log(req.input);
        res.emit('news', { hello: 'world' });
    }

    destroy(req, res)
    {
        console.log('message was destroyed');
        console.log(req.input);
    }

}

module.exports = new MessageController();
