NodeJS run tcp server on multiple ports?

Question

Is it possible to run a tcp server in nodejs on multiple ports?

var socketServer = net.createServer(function (socket) {


    socket.on('end', function () {


    });

    socket.on('error', function (error) {

    });     

    return socket;
}).listen(8080);

Any ideas how the above could also run on port 8888?

Answer 1

The best you can do is extract your connection handler and create multiple server instances:

function connHandler(socket) {
  socket.on('end', function() {

  });

  socket.on('error', function(error) {

  });
}

net.createServer(connHandler).listen(8080);
net.createServer(connHandler).listen(8088);
