`js
var net = require('net');
// OR, if not shimming via package.json "browser" field:
// var net = require('react-native-tcp')
var server = net.createServer(function(socket) {
socket.write('excellent!');
}).listen(12345);
var client = net.createConnection(12345);
client.on('error', function(error) {
console.log(error)
});
client.on('data', function(data) {
console.log('message was received', data)
});
