Connecting a terminal based node.js app to a socket.io server?

I am able to connect a web based app to a socket.io server, but not a terminal based app, this is what i use to connect to the socket.io server: 

var socket = require('socket.io')
var connection = socket.connect('http://127.0.0.1:8080');

I get the following error: 

 TypeError: socket.connect is not a function

How can I connect a terminal app to a socket.io server, written in node.js

The socket.io is for creating WebSocket server. You can't use this module as a client. Instead try socket.io-client

  var socket = require('socket.io-client')('http://127.0.0.1:8080');
  socket.on('connect', function(){});
  socket.on('event', function(data){});
  socket.on('disconnect', function(){});
