WebSockets Demo
This is a demo app to accompany the WebSockets and Methods for Real-Time Data Streaming talk at the SE Michigan JavaScript users group.
For more info and documentation, view the project's homepage.
Also, view the WebSockets presentation slides here.
Getting Started
Grab the repo from Github:
git clone git://github.com/JangoSteve/websockets-demo
Then cd into the project's root directory and install:
cd websockets-demo
npm install
Once everything is installed, run the server:
npm start
And finally, open the client page (assuming Chrome is your default browser; if not, try browsing to the page in your Finder, right click, and open with Chrome (then again, it may run in Firefox or some other browser too, who knows)):
open index.html
To see the WebSockets in action, try opening the client page a bunch of times in different tabs:
open index.html
open index.html
open index.html
open index.html
open index.html
open index.html
open index.html
open index.html
Optionally, you may also open the client page over the
network, e.g. locally or over wifi, if you have the server
running. Visit http://localhost:8080, or look
up your local network address (e.g. 192.168.1.1) using ifconfig
and visit your address on port 8080.
