I'm going through the O'Reilly node - up and running book. In chapter 2
they have code to put together a chat server. It's simple enough and
though mine is somewhat working, the output doesn't match what they show.
In the example, it shows that when a client enters some data it's written
to the other clients terminal window as a full string. In my case it
writes out each character instead of waiting until I hit the enter key.
From what I can see, my code is the same as the book so I'm not sure why
the output is different. Can anyone see the problem? Thanks.
var net = require("net");
var chatServer = net.createServer(), clientList = [];
chatServer.on("connection", function(client){
client.name = client.remoteAddress + ":" + client.remotePort;
clientList.push(client);
client.write("Hi " + client.name + "!\n");
client.on("data", function(data){
broadcast(data, client);
});
});
function broadcast(message, client){
for (var i = 0; i < clientList.length; i++){
if (client !== clientList[i]){
clientList[i].write(client.name + " says " + message);
}
}
}
chatServer.listen(9000);
