Ace editor - Real Time Changes between two clients (socket.io / mongodb

[Andrew Oneill]

I'm trying to create a real time text editor with ace but I'm trying print to send data or receive data with the editor from Mongodb via socket.io.

I know with a normal textarea I can addEventListener but with this I cant, what do I use?

files attached of what I done so far

there are multiple ways to get change notifications

editor.on("input", function() {}) // fires async similar to textarea input event
editor.on("change", function() {})  or editor.session.on("change" // fires synchronously during change event, there can be multiple change events for one keypress

editor.textInput.getElement() // the focused textarea
or editor.container.addEventListent("keypress", fn, true)
