This is a personal Node.js project to create a simple chat web app. This project is here to help me build upon my Javascript and node.js skills.
- Node.js
- Nodemon
- UUID
- Express.js
- Socket.io
The app uses Node.js to handle the back-end javascript. The Express.js framework takes care of running the web app on the web. Socket.io handles real-time input from the connected users and the server. This in turn lets you chat with another person via the browser just like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.
At this time the project runs localy on the users system. To get started with this project just:
git clone
- Have node & npm installed.
- Run
npm i
in the root folder. - Then run
npm run watch
to start nodemon.
Try running the app and open two separate tabs in your browser with the same URL as the app and see it working. ๐
