A React + Websockets-based chat app

Pingding

A React-based real-time chat application

Stack

React - a front-end JavaScript framework for creating reactive web applications

React Router - a client-side router for React SPAs

Express - a popular framework for Node.js

Socket.io - a library that enables real-time, bidirectional and event-based communication between a client and server

Scripts

Available from the project root directory:

npm start

Kicks off the React dev server and the Node chat server together.
Open http://localhost:7777 to view the app in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits, and shows linter errors in the console output.

npm front

Spins up just the React dev server at http://localhost:7777.

npm back

Runs only the chat server at http://localhost:4000.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

(Note: the Node server does not require bundling, but must be deployed separately!)

See the section about deployment for more information.

npm test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

npm run eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (Webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.

Proxy

The app can be configured to proxy all non-matched URLs, meaning that any routes not matching the app will automatically be forwarded elsewhere. This behavior can be enabled with the following entry in package.json:

"proxy": "http://localhost:4444"
