Where is the socket.io client library?

Question

As far as I have seen, there is no explanation as to where we are to locate the client side script for socket.io if node.js is not used as the web

Answer 1

I have created a bower compatible socket.io-client that can be install like this :

bower install sio-client --save

or for development usage :

bower install sio-client --save-dev

link to repo

Answer 2

I think that better and proper way is to load it from this url

src="/socket.io/socket.io.js" 

on the domain where socket.io runs. What is positive on this solution is that if you update your socket.io npm module, your client file gets updated too and you don't have to copy it every time manually.
