SocketCluster


Toolset and boilerplate for quickly creating systems using SocketCluster.
See the client and server repos for documentation:

- https://github.com/SocketCluster/socketcluster-client
- https://github.com/SocketCluster/socketcluster-server

Documentation for SCC (horizontally scalable cluster) is available at https://github.com/SocketCluster/socketcluster/blob/master/scc-guide.md

Installation


Setup the socketcluster command:

  1. ``` sh
  2. npm install -g socketcluster
  3. ```

or:

  1. ``` sh
  2. sudo npm install -g socketcluster
  3. ```

then:

  1. ``` sh
  2. socketcluster create myapp
  3. ```

Once it's installed, go to your new myapp/ directory and launch with:

  1. ``` sh
  2. node server
  3. ```

Access at URL http://localhost:8000/

Node.js v10.0.0 or above is recommended but you can also use SocketCluster with older Node.js versions if you use while loops instead of for-await-of loops.

Compatibility mode


For compatibility with existing SocketCluster clients, set the protocolVersion to 1 and make sure that the path matches your old client path:

  1. ``` js
  2. let agServer = socketClusterServer.attach(httpServer, {
  3.   protocolVersion: 1,
  4.   path: '/socketcluster/'
  5. });
  6. ```
