How to implement datatables with socket.io

jemz

I want to use datables in socket.io, my problem is that I don't where should I put the listener of the events.

socket.on('.....');

by the way if using socket.io do I need still to put the ajax in the configuration of datatables ?.

Thank you in advance.

    $(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').dataTable( {
       
        "ajax": {
            url:"./getEmployee.php"
         
        },
      "serverside": true,
        "deferRender": true,
        "columns": [
           {"data": "employeeid"},
            {"data": "empoloyeename"},
            {"data": "hiredate"},
        ]
    } );
} );

I've just added some thoughts on this in your other thread on this topic.

I seriously doubt that you want to use server-side processing with socket, but it is possible if you need to use 50k+ rows.
