# Node + Sockets + Database + Radiant Interface
## Node
I use Node and NPM to define packages.json, which should have everything you need in it. If anything's missing let me know!
## Sockets
###Custom secure websockets.
A box appears in the top-right corner of the site (configurable) which shows the current socket status.
Sockets automatically reconnect if disconnected.
We expose two keys to the frontend: one per computer and one per session.
On the backend they're associated with a single userid.
Interfacing with the sockets is easy. From the frontend:
socketRegister( event, callback ) // Register a socket event
openSocket( url, callback ) // Connect the socket
sendSocket( obj ) // Send an object to the server
And from the backend, we support automation as well as direct communication. Automation in the database means
that it will automatically check permissions and respond with the right data objects, properly mapping and/or masking
the data
