how to call node api response in socket.io server
scenario : creating a node api (GET) calling that api in socket.io node server and calling this socket server in angular client.
what i did : created a node api for get request and post and created a socket server i tried to consume the app .
"issue:" 1. I tried to consume the api but unable to get the data in socket server and 2. If it worked also how can i get the this socket data on button click in angular application
Note: running NODE api on 3000 server and running socket server on 3001
below is my code
Node api code runnning on 3000 port:
const express = require('express') const bodyParser = require('body-parser'); const cors = require('cors'); const app = express() const port = 3000 let books = [{ "isbn": "9781593275846", "title": "Eloquent JavaScript, Second Edition", "author": "Marijn Haverbeke", "publish_date": "2014-12-14", "publisher": "No Starch Press", "numOfPages": 472, }]; app.use(cors()); app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false })); app.use(bodyParser.json()); app.post('/book', (req, res) => { const book = req.body; // output the book to the console for debugging console.log(book); books.push(book); res.send('Book is added to the database'); }); app.get('/book', (req, res) => { res.json(books); }); app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Hello world app listening on port ${port}!`)); Socket .io server running on 3001
var app = require('express')(); var http = require('http').createServer(app); var io = require('socket.io')(http); const apiUrl="http://localhost:3000/book" io.on('connection', function (socket) { socket.on('getBanners', function(data){ request.get(apiUrl,function (error, response, body){ console.log(body) socket.emit('result', {res:JSON.parse(body)}) }) }); }); http.listen(3001, function(){ console.log('listening on *:3001'); }); Note: Node api server –> socketio server (not client)
