So I can't seem to find a way to use Socket.io and MEAN together. I can get it running in the latest version without errors with:

var server = app.listen(config.port, config.hostname);
io = io.listen(server);

But io, socket, doesn't have scope anywhere inside of Angular. I'm kind of new to all of this, so this might be a massive oversight on my part, but any insight to how I can overcome this would be appreciated.

Look at btford/angular-socket-io on github Is an angular wrapper for client side socket.io.

Express.IO is built for using the express framework in the MEAN stack along with Socket.IO

I've just responded to another SO post (Mean.io framwork with socket.io) for the same issue. Hope it helps.

Note: I'm using mean.io v0.5.26 and socket.io v1.1.0.
