How do I get access to http server? about inversify-express-utils HOT 5 CLOSED

Same here. I need access to the underlying http server object for other purposes such as WebSocket.

Any ideas?

Is there any way, in particular I'm looking to use InversifySocketUtils so would be happy if there was an option to at least get the underlying https server instance.

Hi All,
maybe it would be useful for you, this is how I got Http instance.

        const inversifyExpressServer = new InversifyExpressServer(container);
        inversifyExpressServer.setConfig((app) => {
            // add body parser
            app.use(
                bodyParser.urlencoded({
                    extended: true,
                }),
            );
            app.use(bodyParser.json());
        });

        let app = inversifyExpressServer.build();

        const server = http.createServer(app);
        server.listen(port)

As you see after build we get express app instance. This instance could be fed to http.createServer and then server.listen(port).

@davx1992 's solution is corect.
app is just an express app not an http server.
