README: Chatroom Project - Aidan & Andrew For our server, we used Node.js. So, to compile our server, you will need node installed: https://nodejs.org/en/ Direct terminal to the project directory and run the following commands to install dependencies. npm install npm install --save express@4.15.2 npm install --save socket.io Compile the server and run it by using: Ònode index.jsÓ, it will be listening on port 1134. For our client, we used web browsers. Visit localhost:1134 if youÕre hosting the server on the same computer, or visit [IP Address]:1134 if youÕre trying to connect from a different machine. Once the webpage loads, enter a username in the textbox specified, and then it will attempt to connect! If you try to enter a username thatÕs already in use, a number will be appended to your username and youÕll connect with that new username. Once you connect, the textbox to enter a username will be removed. Enter messages in the specified box. Use Ò@[username]Ó to send private messages. Recipients of the DM message will have their text bolded When you disconnect the chat will be notified you have left.
