Very simple chatroom application for the web. By chatroom, I really mean one chatroom. It does not have a database to store login information or chatroom message history. I'd like to come back to this someday to incorporate more features such as the ones listed. The server runs on Node and Express. Along with the basic rest apis, it keeps track of cookies so you can leave and come back to the website and automatically join the chatroom where you last left off. A websocket connection is also made to communicate the chatroom messages to the client.
The Express server is running on port 5000 and the Webpack development server is on port 3000.
The application was developed with JavaScript, React, Node, Express, Webpack, and Babel.
First, install the repository and package dependencies
git clone [email protected]:eferrabelo1114/Chatroom-Web-Application.git
cd Chatroom-Web-Application
npm installNow just run the application
npm run devTo view the application go to localhost:3000
Currently, there is no configuration for a production build. This may or may not chane in the future.
