About

The goal of this exercise was to learn socket IO and real-time, bidirectional and event-based communication between the browser and the server.

According the rules of the exercise the server-side technologies were mandatory. The ones for the front-end part were free.

• Node.JS (server-side)
• Websockets/Socket IO (server-side)
• React JS (client-side)

Installation

You will need node.js and npm installed on your computer.

To play localy

In servers.js (root) replace

endpoint: undefined, //Heroku

by:

endpoint: "localhost:8000", //Local

• Use node server.js in the root to launch the server
• Use npm start in the directory socket-client

To build the app for Heroku:

You will need this command line in package.json:

"build": "cd socket-client && npm install && npm run build"

In the root:

• npm install to install dependencies
• npm run build to build for production
