socket.io example

Feature request

At the moment the Keystone doesn't have examples for an HTTP server customization like socket.io. There is only configureExpress hook but it's useless for the HTTP customization like socket.io.

What should I do if I need to customize the HTTP server?

We allow you to fully customise your server, as long as you're able to consume the express middleware Keystone provides: https://keystonejs.com/guides/custom-server

[pahaz]

Yes, you can, but it not the same as just define configureExpress

[jesstelford]

I'm not sure I understand. configureExpress just passes you the express app for you to do what you need. At that point you can do pretty much anything like attaching new routes or middleware.

If you need more customisation, I linked to the docs which show a bunch of examples of how to build a fully custom server.

@pahaz it's been a while, have you got any solutions?
