Can i create a dummy socket.io client inside the s

Question

We are writing an Application- which need a dummy user as a socket.io client with the user ,which will act as a dummy user , to send and recieve messages . Each user will have the dummy client that should be able to send message to client(User).

I need help for implementing this.

This is my server connection handler .I want to create a socket.io client here , as new client is connected on server .Can i develope it if yes then how ?

   self.socket.on('connection', function(client){
      //here i want to create a seperate module for handling dummy users 
      // for sending and recieving message.

    }); 

How will i include Socket.io Client Script in node ? updating the client i write on server

exports.init=function(){
    var socket = new io.Socket(config.host, {port: config.port, rememberTransport: false});
    // when connected, clear out display
    socket.on('connect',function() {
        console.log('dummy user connected');
    });
    socket.on('disconnect',function() {
        console.log('disconnected dummy');
    });
    socket.on('message', function(data){
      console.log(data);
    });
    socket.connect();
    return socket;
};

Here i am creating the client

if (message._command=='login') {
        console.log('creating client of '+sessionId);
        var socket=client.init();

        console.log(socket);
    }

This console is printed .

If you want to simulate browser clients through the server which are connected to your socket.io server you can try to use some of the node.js socket.io clients, such as node-socket.io-client or Socket.IO-node-client.
