  1 0 5.4 HTML

Let’s say we’re building a B2B SaaS app for developers, and it needs to show an activity feed of what is happening in their organization’s GitHub repo. Any commits pushed to the repository should be displayed in the app in real-time. That’s what we'll build in this post. You can find the completed project available on GitHub.

• Socket.io

  826 60,210 7.9 TypeScript

  Realtime application framework (Node.JS server)

  

The first is the script tag in the head of our HTML document that loads the Socket.IO client library. This script tag includes the Socket.IO client library that will communicate with our socket.io server from the code above.

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io featured

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  

• Express

  678 63,824 8.3 JavaScript

  Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.

  

First, we import express. The Express framework allows us to create routes that will respond to webhook POST requests and serve an HTML file when a GET request is made to the root of the site.
