node.js - share sockets between processes

Question

I´ve read that it´s possible to share sockets between processes. Is this also possible in Node.js?

I saw the cluster api in node.js, but that´s not what I´m looking

Answer 1

You probably want to take a look at hook.io

hook.io is a distributed EventEmitter built on node.js. In addition to providing a minimalistic event framework, hook.io also provides a rich network of hook libraries for managing all sorts of input and output.

Answer 2

This is not possible at the moment, but I've added it as a feature request to the node issues page.

Update In the mean time, I've written a module for this. You can find it here: https://github.com/VanCoding/node-ancillary
