Express and WebSocket listening on the same port : <p>I have an app.js which is used to trigger two events when some POST data are received: </p>

<ol>
<li>Insert POST data into a database</li>
<li>Send a message to a client using a WebSocket</li>
</ol>

<p>Here is the <strong>app.js</strong> (only the important lines)</p>

<pre><code>var express = require('express');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var server = require('./server');

var app = express();
var port = process.env.PORT || 3000;

app.post('/server', server);

app.listen(port, function(){
  console.log('Slack bot listening');
});
</code></pre>

<p>And here is the <strong>server.js</strong> (only the important lines)</p>

<pre><code>var db = require('./DB');
var WebSocketServer = require('ws').Server;

var insertData = function(req, res){

    var wss = new WebSocketServer({server: server});
    console.log('WebSocketServer created');
    wss.on('connection', function(wss){
        wss.send(JSON.stringify('Socket open'));
    });
    wss.on('close', function(){
        console.log('WebServerSocket has been closed');
    });
};

module.exports = insertData;
</code></pre>

<p>What I would like to achieve is to set the WebSocketServer in a way that it listen to the same port of the app. 
I thought about passing the <em>server</em> var from <strong>app.js</strong> to <strong>server.js</strong> but </p>

<ol>
<li>I think this a not an elegant way to do it</li>
<li>I don't know how to do it</li>
</ol>

<p>What do you guys think? </p>
