  1. Install the ws library by running the following command in your terminal: npm install ws
  2. In your SvelteKit project, create a new file in your src directory named websocket.js. This file will contain the code for your WebSocket server.
  3. Import the ws library and define a new WebSocketServer instance. Here's an example of how to do this:

    import WebSocketServer from 'ws';
    
    const wss = new WebSocketServer.Server({ port: 8080 });
    

    This creates a new WebSocket server on port 8080.

  4. Next, add some event listeners to handle various WebSocket events. For example, to handle connections and disconnections, you could add the following code:

    wss.on('connection', (ws) => {
     console.log('Client connected');
    
     ws.on('close', () => {
       console.log('Client disconnected');
     });
    });
    

    This will log a message to the console whenever a client connects or disconnects.

  5. Finally, export the wss object so it can be accessed from other files in your SvelteKit project: export default wss;
  6. In your SvelteKit project, import the wss object and use it to broadcast data to all connected clients. For example, you could call wss.clients.forEach() to send data to all clients:

    import wss from '$lib/websocket';
    
    // send a message to all connected clients
    wss.clients.forEach((client) => {
     client.send('Hello from the server');
    });
    

    Note that in order for this to work, you'll need to have a WebSocket connection open in your client-side JavaScript code.
