How does Socket.IO handle events?

Socket.IO uses an event-driven architecture, allowing you to emit and listen for events easily. You can define custom events and handle them on both the client and server sides.

Can you give me an example of emitting an event?

Sure! On the client side, you can emit an event like this: socket.emit('myEvent', { data: 'Hello World' });.

What about listening for events?

To listen for events, you can use socket.on('myEvent', (data) => { console.log(data); }); on the client side.

How do I handle events on the server side?

On the server side, you can listen for events using io.on('connection', (socket) => { socket.on('myEvent', (data) => { console.log(data); }); });.
