I'm running an express based apollo graphQL server using apollo-server-express
.
import express from 'express'
import cors from 'cors'
import server from './graphql/schema'
app.use(cors())
server.applyMiddleware({ app, path: '/graphql' })
app.listen(port, async () => {
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
console.log('Listening on port ' + port)
}
})
export default app
Now I need to connect to some other applications from my client. Therefore he provides me with HL7 data. He told me to 'use a socket to get the HL7 data' , which my application can use. I just don't have a clue how to implement a socket connection at all.
Doing some researches brought me to libraries like socket.io, which should be used like this (for express):
const app = require('express')();
const server = require('http').createServer(app);
const io = require('socket.io')(server);
io.on('connection', () => { /* … */ });
server.listen(3000)
I don't understand how to implement the io
in my existing code shown above.
I never used or implemented a socket connection at all, so I have very big understanding problems with that. Maybe the socket.io library is not the correct thing for my needs.
I do not have any knowlege about HL7 data
, I think your another app has been writen by Java.
But, if you want to implement a socket.io server with apollo-server-express
, just follow socket.io
official document and attach a http server
to express app
and socket.io
, then start your http server.
import express from 'express'
import cors from 'cors'
import GraphQLServer from './graphql/schema'
import socketIO from 'socket.io'
import http from 'http'
let app = express() // You missed this line ?
let httpServer = http.Server()
let io = socketIO(httpServer)
app.use(cors())
GraphQLServer.applyMiddleware({ app, path: '/graphql' })
httpServer.listen(port, async () => { // I don't see your `port`
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
console.log('Listening on port ' + port)
}
})
io.on('connection', (socket) => {
console.log('A client connected', socket.id)
});
export default app
