I have developed a simple real time web chat application using NodeJS, socket.io and MongoDB
###Prerequisites
- Download and install NodeJs - https://nodejs.org
- Download and install MongoDB - https://www.mongodb.com
###How to run on your machine?
- Download the files from the repository
- Run npm install command - to install all the dependencies required for the project, As package.json files helps node to install all the required dependencies
- Run mongodb command - use command prompt(Windows) to locate bin directory in MongoDB and run mongod (this will start your mongodb database)
- Run mongo command - use command prompt(Windows) to locate bin directory in MongoDB and run mongo (Create database and perform CURD operations)
- I have used port 8080 for this project, you can change the port number as per your requiremenet
- In your favourite web browser connect with the localhost:8080 - this by default opens the index file
Note - You can also deploy this project on WAMP, XAMP or any other server
