The first question I have is, is it possible to use Node.JS and Socket.IO inside of a ASP.NET webform and .Net web application?
What I am trying to do is show real-time data, and I want to do this using node.js modules.
I understand the client side code for node.js but how do I implement the server side, i.e. exactly where do the server side code go and how do i call it?
here is what i have so far: myfiddle
<head runat="server">
<title>Logger</title>
<script src="/assets/js/chosen.jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/assets/js/date-time/bootstrap-datepicker.min.js"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/js-cookie.js"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/socket.io-1.3.5.js"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/displaylogs.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div id="container">
</div>
</form>
</body>
$(document).ready(function () {
// start by the connection with socket.io
var socket = io.connect('http://localhost:8080');
var container = $('#container');
// makes every new chunk of data it receives displayed inside a div.
socket.on('new-data', function(data) {
var newItem = $('<div>' + data.value + '</div>');
container.append(newItem);
});
});
