Socket.io Support for Twee.io Framework - MVC Framework for Node.js and io.js based on Express.js.

Installation

Edit package.json of your application:

"dependencies": {
    "twee-socket-extension": "*"
}

Enable extension in application/configs/twee.js:

module.exports = {
    "extensions": {
        "Sockets": {
            "module": "twee-socket-extension"
        }
    }
};

Example of usage in modules/Default/controllers/DefaultController.js:

"use strict";

/**
* @type Object Default Controller
*/
module.exports = function () {
    /**
    * Main Page
    *
    * @param req
    * @param res
    */
    this.indexAction = function (req, res) {
        var self = this;

        res.render('Default/views/pages/Default/index');

        // Using sockets here.
        // Or we can use them before render
        // (not optimized for UI responsiveness)
        twee.get('socket.io').on('connect', function(socket){
            socket.emit('chat message', 'Hello from socket callback!');
        });
    };
};
