TCP Stream on Nodejs

Question

I'm trying to listen on a tcp port that is sending continuous streams of data separated by curly braces { x, y, z}. When I run this script with node, I get the first console output "client connected", but the rest of the script hangs. Is there anything I can do to display the data as it arrives??

var s = require('net');

var client = s.connect(2324, '10.12.1.22', function(){
    console.log('client connected');

});

client.on('data', function(d){
      console.log(d);
});
client.end();

because you call client.end() before data can be received, you should put client.end(); inside the data event. and I believe you need s.close() or s.end() — Mouseroot

You are emiting end event immediately, which means connection goes down instantly. In fact you should not emit end, TCP Socket is a Stream, it will emit end on data end. Take a look at net module API docs.
