How to do it...

First, we'll create our server.

In server.js, let's write the following:

const net = require('net')  net.createServer((socket) => {   console.log('-> client connected')   socket.on('data', name => {     socket.write(`Hi ${name}!`)   })   socket.on('close', () => {     console.log('-> client disconnected')   }) }).listen(1337, 'localhost') 

Now for the client, our client.js should look like this:

const net = require('net')  const socket = net.connect(1337, 'localhost') const name = process.argv[2] || 'Dave'  socket.write(name)  socket.on('data', (data) => {   console.log(data.toString()) })  socket.on('close', () => {   console.log('-> disconnected by server') }) 

We should be able to start our server and connect to it with our client. ...
