how to listen for a matlab in javascript

One approach to listen for a MATLAB process in JavaScript is to implement WebSocket communication between the two processes. This will allow you to send messages between the MATLAB and JavaScript processes, and you can listen for messages on both sides.

Here's an example of how you can set up a WebSocket server in MATLAB:

main.m
w = WebSocket(3000); % create a WebSocket server listening on port 3000
while 1
    % Wait for a message from the client
    message = w.waitForMessage;
    
    % Do something with the message (e.g. parse and act on it)
    response = handleMessage(message);
    
    % Send a response back to the client
    w.send(response);
end

And here's an example of how you can connect to this server from JavaScript using the WebSocket API:

index.tsx
const websocket = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:3000');
websocket.onopen = () => {
  console.log('WebSocket connection established');
};
websocket.onmessage = (event) => {
  const message = event.data;
  console.log(`Received message: ${message}`);
  // Do something with the message (e.g. update the UI or trigger some action)
};

With this setup, you can use message passing to communicate between the two processes. You can pass JSON-serialized data or other formats based on your requirements.
