I am not sure if I should access the editor through port 3000 or port 5001 (localhost:5001/test)?

It doesn't seem to work for port 3000 (localhost:3000/collab) and for port 5001, the basic feature works but whenever the user refreshes the page, the number of connections and disconnections increase. This is what I mean:

User connected: mIMnNMnLtUMtx6aoAAAZ

I see why. Each time someone visits localhost:5001/test, the socket io connection listener starts, even if there are already event listeners doing the same thing before. Move the io.on("connection", ...) outside

This is a prototype right - meaning that we're not going to merge this?

Thanks for the catch. I suppose for the io listener calls within API calls I should use one-time listeners also

I assumed we were going to work on it iteratively, so we can merge this, and then polish it - code editor instead of text editor etc. the frontend I roughly made was just to check that it can be separated and it works across different localhosts, so that can be replaced as well

Testing

For testing I used Restman to send packets

1. Send POST request to create session localhost:5001/session/create
2. Type into it with localhost:5001/test
3. Send POST request to save session localhost:5001/session/save
