//Standalone

//In conjunction with Express
//Starting with 3.0, express applications have become request handler functions that you pass to http or http Server instances. You need to pass the Server to socket.io, and not the express application function. Also make sure to call .listen on the server, not the app.

//In conjunction with Koa
//Like Express.JS, Koa works by exposing an application as a request handler function, but only by calling the callback method.

//In conjunction with Fastify
//To integrate Socket.io in your Fastify application you just need to register fastify-socket.io plugin. It will create a decorator called io.

Implement socket.io in node.js application controller

//app.js or index.js
const app = express();
var http = require("http");
var server=http.createServer(app).listen(2525, (req, res) => {
  console.log("Server running on", 2525);
});
var socketIO = require("socket.io");
var io = socketIO(server);
global.io = io //Importent line

//Add the below statement to your controller code
global.io.emit("eventname", "yourdata"); //Importent line
