How to setup route for websocket server in express

Question

I have a setup similar to this one:

var WebSocketServer = require("ws").Server,
    express = require("express"),
    http = require("http"),
    app = express(),
    server = http.createServer(app);

app.post("/login", login);
app.get("/...", callSomething);
// ...

server.listen(8000);


var wss = new WebSocketServer({server: server});

wss.on("connection", function(ws){
   // ...
});

I would like to put the WebSocketServer under a specific path which may for instance be "...com/whatever". The question is how can I set the path? Is it possible?

Hello @kartik,

You'll want to use the path option:

var wss = new WebSocketServer({server: server, path: "/hereIsWS"});

Thank You!!
