uWebSockets - push events to server - node.js

Question

I have a uWebSockets server as it seems to be a lot more performance friendly than socket.io servers.
So I have a server and its connected fine and after some trouble I got the index.html client side to connect, but now I'm not able to push events to the server from the client side. What am I doing wrong?
var WebSocketServer = require('uws').Server,
express = require('express'),
path = require('path'),
app = express(),
server = require('http').createServer(),
createEngine = require('node-twig').createEngine;
var wss = new WebSocketServer({server: server});
wss.on('connection', function (ws) {
ws.on('join', function (value) {
console.log('SOMEONE JUST JOINED');
});
ws.on('close', function () {
//console.log('stopping client interval');
clearInterval(id);
});
});
server.on('request', app);
server.listen(8080, function () {
console.log('Listening on http://localhost:8080');
});
index.html
<script>
var host = window.document.location.host.replace(/:.*/, '');
var server = new WebSocket('ws://' + host + ':8080');
server.onmessage = function (event) {
updateStats(JSON.parse(event.data));
};
server.onopen = function (event) {
server.send("Here's some text that the server is urgently awaiting!");
server.send('join');
};
function something() {
console.log('WORKED');
server.send('join');
}
</script>

You don't have an event listener setup on the server side that does receive and react on the message. Like
ws.on('message', function (msg) {
// Do something with the message received from the client
});
