[NodeJS] Lexical environment issues - lux - 07-05-2015

Code:
router.post('/', function (req, res) {
 // Need to send ws.send() with post data
})


wss.on('connection', function(ws) {
  ws.on('message', function(message) {
    console.log('r : %s', message);
  });
  // ws is only define under this callback as an object of type ws
});

ws is only defined within the wss connection event.

ws = WebSockets
router = default Express router

I've read a tiny amount about 'closures', but haven't fully read on them.

Any advice, guys?

Nope. Used Events to get around it.
