I highly recommend taking a look at this library: https://github.com/btford/angular-socket-io

This way you can easily integrate socket.io with Angular for client side

    I saw that thing it helped me. But now I am getting an error when I try to connect the socket through io.connect("http://localhost:3000/") XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:3000/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=1412172739903-3. A wildcard '*' cannot be used in the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header when the credentials flag is true. Origin 'http://localhost:1235' is therefore not allowed access. – Muhammad Mudassir Oct 01 '14 at 14:17
  • wait which are you trying to connect to... localhost:3000 or localhost:1235 ? – smk1992 Oct 04 '14 at 17:39
  • 1235(client) to 3000(server) – Muhammad Mudassir Oct 05 '14 at 09:53
  • I believe this is happening because your trying to connect to another server, one that is different from the one that servers your client. Your basically having a CORs issue. You should look into COrs in general. It is pretty important regarding security.
