Write a TCP server that echoes whatever you write to it. For example if you write 'hello' to the TCP server, it should reply with 'hello', if you write 'world' it should reply 'world'
Also write a client that connects to this TCP server, writes stdin to the server and then prints the reply to stdout.
You can use the net module to create TCP servers in node. Check the docs for the createServer function
and you'll be on your way. Once you have a socket you can use the .on('data' function(data) {...}) method to read data from it and the
.write(data) method to write to it.
For the client you can also use the net module to connect to the server. Just like with the connection, you can use process.stdin.on('data', ...)
to read from stdin and process.stdout.write(data) to write to stdout.
Put your code into 2 files, one called "server.js", and the other "client.js". If you run
node server.js
and on another terminal
node client.js
when you type "hello" plus enter in the client console, you should get "hello" back on the same terminal.
