My server wants to send to the clients a message on connection. Then the client sends a message to the server .
My code is working fine when the client sends message to the server but the initial message that the server should send on connection is not received by the client.
This is my little code :)
server
var app = require('http').createServer(handler),
io = require('socket.io').listen(app, { log: false }),
fs = require('fs');
app.listen(8001);
function handler(req, res) {
fs.readFile(__dirname + '/client1.html', function(err, data) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
res.writeHead(500);
return res.end('Error loading client1.html');
}
res.writeHead(200);
res.end(data);
});
}
io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
console.log("running time");
socket.emit("serverMessage","server says hi");
socket.on('clientMessage', function () {
console.log("client message recieved");
});
});
client
<html>
<head>
<script src="/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
<script>
socket = io.connect("http://localhost:8001");
socket.on('connection', function(socket) {
socket.on("serverMessage", function(d) {
console.log("server send a message ");
});
});
function send() {
socket.emit('clientMessage', "Test Message From Client");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="send()" >send</button>
</body>
Please any help?
There is a simple error in your client code. There is no event named
connectionfor client. Instead the name isconnect. Do this in client:
