To use this sample you must have:

MongoDB installed and running, if not please checkout MongoDb installation guide. To check your MongoDB installation, run following command in command line:

$ mongod -version
db version v3.0.12 # sample output

To check MongoDB is running, type:

$ service mongod status
mongod start/running, process 9559 # sample output

or

$ ps -ef | grep mongod | grep -v grep
mongodb   1085     1  0 09:51 ?        00:00:52 /usr/bin/mongod --config /etc/mongod.conf # sample output

npm package manager, if not please visit official npm site. To check your npm installation, run following command in command line:

$ npm -v
1.3.10 # sample output

To start this example run commands listed below.

Clone the repository from github.com to your workspace folder:

$ git clone git@github.com:anychart-integrations/nodejs-socket-io-mongodb-template

Navigate to the repository folder:

$ cd nodejs-socket-io-mongodb-template

Install dependencies

npm install

install socket.io

npm install --save socket.io

Set up MongoDB:

$ mongo < database_backup.js

Start application:

$ node app.js

Open browser at http://localhost:3000/

Now you can see chart updating every 2 seconds, open another console and update MongoDB data:
