This demo webapp demonstrates how to implement realtime location updates with node and sockets.io. Implemented on top of sails.js framework and mongoDB as storage.

***Live Demo ***

Installation  

Before instalation ensure that node & a mongo oserver are installed and running on localhost

Install Sails.js, if not installed yet

$ sudo npm install sails -g

Get the cource code

$ git clone git@github.com:azayarni/nodesocket.git demo
$ cd ./demo

Run tests with mocha

$ sudo npm install mocha -g
$ mocha ./tests

That's it. Then just go to (http://localhost:1337/) and enjoy the show: open two different windows to see the magic of the socket communication.
