Nodejs + OrientDB + Socket.io

A study to implement a real-time communication with Node.js, OrientDB (via Docker), and Socket.io, with the liveQuery() method from OrientDB.

How to install and run

• First, you need to have Node.js v7+, NPM and Docker in your machine.
• Clone this repository
• Create a path in your machine to store the OrientDB databases locally. By default, the directory which will be used is /opt/orientdb/databases. If you create another directory, change the script build on package.json at docker run -d --name orientdb -p 2424:2424 -p 2480:2480 -v {YOUR_DIRECTORY}:/orientdb/databases ...
• Run npm install
• Run npm run build
• Run npm start
• Open http://localhost:8000

How to test the real-time communication

• Once started, open the terminal and a browser at http://localhost:8000
• Then, run npm run newusers. You will see the data changing in your page and printing in your console the new records that are saved on your database
