I am starting to use NodeJS and Socket.IO. I am trying to set up a basic example with a NodeJS http server and establish a Socket.IO connection to the server.
I am also using angular JS and basically what I want is that when a user presses a button then the connection to the server is established. However, when I try it I get this error
GET http://localhost/socket.io/?EIO=2&transport=polling&t=1404288173776-3 net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Here is my code:
server.js
var http = require('http');
var server= http.createServer(handler);
var io = require('socket.io')(server);
server.listen(8080);
function handler(req, res) {
res.writeHead(200);
res.end('Hello Http');
}
io.on('connection', function (socket){
socket.emit('news', { hello: 'world' });
console.log('connected!');
});
app.js
var app = angular.module('testApp', ['ngRoute']);
app.controller('TestCtrl', function ($scope){
$scope.msg= "";
$scope.try = function (){
$scope.msg= "ALO"
var socket = io('http://localhost');
socket.on('news', function (data) {
console.log(data);
});
};
});
And on my test.html file:
<body ng-controller="TestCtrl">
<h2>{{msg}}</h2>
<button ng-click="try()">Try</button>
<script src="../js/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="../js/angular-route.min.js"></script>
<script src="../js/app.js"></script>
<script src="../node_modules/socket.io/node_modules/socket.io-client/socket.io.js"></script>
<!-- <script src="/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script> -->
</body>
I think that the error might be something related to the path I use when including the socket.io.js I have tried also using directly localhost:8080 in the path because I read it could be a solution but that didn't work. So please, I appreciate any help given. Thanks!
