Node.js Trade Notification for Steambot

Question

I'm not a coder, but I'm asking on behalf of my web developer who isn't fluent with english, for everyone's expertise.

I'm trying to achieve a real time trade notification on my website.

I have the node.js bot working for all trading purpose already and its interacting with the web with socket.io. Inventory is working. But I do want to add an addtional functionality when the trade offer is send, a notification will also in real time event sent to user on my website at the same time my bot sent a trade offer to the user in steam.

Below is a screenshot example,

Really appreciate if anyone could help me out.

Nobody will be able to answer this well without sample code of whatever he's attempted so far. Otherwise, he might as well just go research on socket.io tutorials and whatnot. — Paul, Apr 20 '16 at 13:52

This all depends on the way you handle your data.

If you are making it so the bot sends a trade offer to the user then when you call your trade offer add in a

socket.emit('tradeOfferSent', {

});

to that user which can be picked up on the client side by

socket.on('tradeOfferSent',function(data) {

});

conversely if you are making your users send trade offers to the bot you can use on 'newOffer' from steam-tradeoffer-manager to emit the data as above.

Inside the on.socket('',function(){}); you are able to add anything you want as an notification. Such as using sweetalerts.
