React Chess

A lightweight, real-time chess app built in Node, Socket.IO, React, and Immutable.

Development

Node.js 18 or newer is recommended.

This project is structured as a monorepo, divided into two packages:

• client - React.js application for the front-end, deployed to Chess-client.
• server - Node, Socket.io application for the back-end, deployed to Chess-server.

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple example steps.

• Clone the repo

Server

• cd into backend and write npm install or npm i in command terminal

  $ cd server
  $/server npm install
  

• Write npm run dev to start the backend server

  $/server npm run dev
  

Client

• cd into my-project and write npm install or npm i in command terminal

  $ cd client
  $/client npm install
  

• Write npm start to start the react server

Create a .env file in the client directory and add the next contents to it:
