This is a simple javascript chat that was build using socket.io. It contains the server logic in the main file: index.js, and the client login in the "client" folder.
To detect changes while writing code, I'm using nodemon. Run npm run dev to run in development mode.
This chat, in addition to the usual messenger service:
- Supports nicknames.
- Broadcasts a message to connected users when someone connects or disconnects.
- It has "{user} is typing" functionality.
- Shows who's online.
- Supports private messaging.
