React Chat application

Introduction

Simple realtime chat app in React JS using ReactJS and NodeJS

If you want to test it the chat app :

git clone --ssh link

Go to the server folder :

cd app

And just

npm run init

Then

npm run watch

And ...

Join a room :)

Some advices to use both server at the same time

In the same file, create :

app for server
client for React application

For server

Use package concurrently to launch 2 servers

npm i concurrently

Use

--prefix

To look for a specific file

package.json

{

  "type": "module",
  "name": "server",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "react chat app",
  "main": "index.js",

  "scripts": {
    "start": "node index.js",
    "dev": "nodemon --inspect index.js",
    "client": "npm start --prefix ../client",
    "watch": "concurrently \"npm run dev\" \"npm run client\""
  },

}

For client

Don't forget to add "proxy"
