help with socket.io please

[TrangNguyen]

Is there a special way to integrate socket.io with mean? I tried adding these lines to server.js

var server = require('http').createServer(app);
//socket io
var io = require('socket.io').listen(server, {
    'log level': 2
});
io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {
    console.log('Client Connected');
}); //<<<<<< socket not used, does not console.log
...
server.listen(port); //<<<<<<<< instead of app.listen(port)

and public/js/services/socket.js

angular.module('mean.socket').factory('socket', ['$rootScope',  function ($rootScope) {
    var socket = io.connect();
    return {
... // like Brian Ford did
    }
}]);

app/views/includes/foot.html

<script type="text/javascript" src="/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/services/socket.js"></script>

and public/js/app.js

angular.module('mean', ['ngCookies', 'ngResource', 'ngRoute', 'ui.bootstrap', 'ui.route', 'mean.system', 'mean.articles', 'mean.socket']);
angular.module('mean.socket', []);

When I start the app, "socket.io started" (at least it said so on the terminal) but

Linting public/js/services/socket.js ...ERROR
[L4:C18] W117: 'io' is not defined.
  var socket = io.connect();

and socket is not used. Socket.io is part of package.json, I see no errors on chrome nor firefox, safari ("bad url" localhost) all scripts seems to load as expected. what am I missing? Thanx.

I ended up using token based session with express-jwt, jsonwebtoken, socketio and socketio-jwt so it varies quite a bit from the original mean app. The app is developed as bachelor's project for a communication/interface design student to share sketches in realtime. The sketching part is done with raphael.sketchpad wrapped in an angular directive.
But I can share the concept if you wish.
