# jquery-socket.io


$(document).ready( function () {

var jqSH = $.socketio();

// greet the user on their console
$(jqSH).bind('greeting', function(event, message){

if(window.console) console.log(message);

});

});

## How it works

It binds:

1) socket.io messages sent from the server to jquery events and

2) jquery events fired from the browser to socket.io messages sent from the client

## Usage

there is both a client and a (node.js) server example in this repository to help you get started

## Repository Layout

the wrapper branch shows how it works behind the scenes

the master or plugin branch allows you to just include and go

## Credits

Parts of the client depend on [`express`](http://expressjs.com).
