Building Scalable Apps with Redis and Node.js

var PacktChat = window.PacktChat || {}; PacktChat.Chat = function(el){ var $root = $('#' + el), socket = io.connect("http://localhost:3000/packtchat"), me = null, connected = false; //to be initialized var router, roomsCollection, userCollection, chatCollection; var GetMe = function GetMe(user){ me = new User(user); Backbone.history.stop(); startChat(me); Backbone.history.start(); connected = true; }; socket.on('connect', function(){ if (!connected) socket.emit('GetMe'); ...
