Sample Chat App with ExpressJS, NodeJS

MPOP Reverse II (Ryann Kim Sesgundo)

This is just a simple web based so-called application that update everytime. I also added some user credentials here like using of cookies, to avoid multiple accounts, and also the admin clear chat command, ban a user, and unban user. To avoid spams, I use the if last two chat, no input method, so that the spam may be prevented.

Solutions:

1. use the ("body-parser").json as middleware in app.use

const express = require("express")
const app = express()
const body = require("body-parser")

const parser = body.urlencoded({ extended: true })

app.use(body.json())

app.post("/", parser, (req, res) => {
	let data = req.body
})

2. Setup external files to be include, by also using of middleware and app.use

NodeJS

const express = require("express")
const app = express()

app.use('/source', express.static(path.join(__dirname + "/styles")))

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
	res.sendFile(`${__dirname}/src/index.html`)
})

HTML

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/source/styles.css">

You may also use the script here. Same method as this example. The logic behindi this program is to use the API method to get the data from the server of the website, and call it thru the fetch method. In this case, the backend and the frontend connects to each other. I use JSON as database of the program, to easily manage thru nosql method. If every that you want to use this project, just add the audio folder, which is excluded to this repository.
