Feathers.js & Vue.js Chat Example

Installation

Please ensure you're running the latest version of node.js.

Clone this repo and run npm install in both the client and server directories.

Usage

Open two terminals sessions, one will run the server, the other will run the client dev-server.

Type npm start to run the server and npm run dev to run the client dev-server. Once running, visit http://localhost:8080 to view the app.

Explanation

Below is a video I recorded to explain how Vuex works in conjunction with Feathers.js, providing us with realtime functionality. The code shown in the video is just slighly different as I took Evan You's suggestions (in the video comments) to refactor the code, which is what you see in this repo.
