sharejs.codemirror.example
==========================

This repo was created so I would have a working share.js / codemirror example with the following traits:

1. Use Share.js 7.x
2. Use CodeMirror for the text editor
3. Use WebSockets instead of browserchannel for client / server communication. I like browserchannel,
but I'm using share in a project that already has a huge number of dependencies.
4. Use JavaScript instead of CoffeeScript. I don't know CoffeeScript, although I like the way it looks...

##Installation and Use##

###Server###

Using Git:

1. After cloning the repo, run npm install in its top level
2. To launch the server, run node . in the top level. You can optionally pass a port to run on with the -p argument

Using NPM:

1. Create a directory for the project and cd into it
2. Run npm install share.js.codemirror.example to install
3. Run node node_modules/share.js.codemirror.example to start the server. You can optionally pass a port to run on with the -p argument

###Client###

1. Open a browser and launch 127.0.0.1:8007 substituting a port number you passed as an argument when starting the server if needed.
2. Open another tab and launch the same url
3. Type some JavaScript into the codemirror instances. They should be synced.
