Usage

Hestia manages sockets with Socket.IO, and has a similar interface for handling events. The main difference is that the socket which triggered the event is sent as the first argument to the handler function.

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const http = require('http').createServer(app);

// Initialize hestia
const h = require('hestia.io')(http);

// Provide client-side app
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/app/client.js'));

h.on('join', function(socket, data) {
  var roomID = h.createRoom();
  h.addPlayer({});

  // Start server-side app
  h.joinApp(roomID, 'myApp', __dirname + '/app/server.js');
  socket.emit('joined');
});

http.listen(5000);
