can't find io.connect?!

[dotku]

I was trying to intergrate socket.io with meanjs following by this article: https://vexxhost.com/resources/tutorials/mean-socket-io-integration-tutorial/

I got io is not defined error on file 'public\modules\articles\services\socket.client.service.js'

'use strict';

//socket factory that provides the socket service
angular.module('core').factory('Socket', ['socketFactory',
    function(socketFactory) {
        return socketFactory({
            prefix: '',
            ioSocket: io.connect('http://localhost:3000')
        });
    }
]);

you need to load socket.io before you try to use it in angular

i'm seeing this error also. i'm not sure what you mean @shawn-simon. shouldn't dependency injection take care of this or are you saying we need to also add another dependency to the angular app aside from btford.socket-io?

[gad2103]

i think you mean we need to load socket.io-client, before we load this library but there isn't a bower component so you need to use overrides if you bower install this package. https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client

i think the README should be explicit about this dependency.

i think the README should be explicit about this dependency.

PR welcome
