Socket.io example

How to use

Using `create-next-app`

Execute create-next-app with Yarn or npx to bootstrap the example:

npx create-next-app --example with-socket.io with-socket.io-app
# or
yarn create next-app --example with-socket.io with-socket.io-app

Download manually

Download the example:

curl https://codeload.github.com/zeit/next.js/tar.gz/canary | tar -xz --strip=2 next.js-canary/examples/with-socket.io
cd with-socket.io

Install it and run:

npm install
npm run dev
# or
yarn
yarn dev

The idea behind the example

This example shows how to use socket.io inside a Next.js application using a custom hook. The example combines the WebSocket server with the Next server. In a production application you should consider splitting them into different services.
