Just a very basic project I am working on to learn NodeJS (with the help of some very helpful tutorials online). Will update as I go along on this journey. Currently only basic chat functions work and timestamps.
Using:
nodejs socket.io expressjs ejs less
Instructions: You must have node and the libraries stated above installed on your computer. Note: I only tested this on a linux machine.
- In terminal, when in the directory, enter: node app.js
- In browser go to: http://localhost:3000
