React-chat-server is a simple web server, built with node.js, express and socket-io to allow multiple clients to connect on it and send chat messages to each other.
This repository is only the server side of the app. In order to fully understand it you should also see react-chat.
The webserver will be listening in the localhost:3000 on dev builds. In order to run it, you just have to:
- Download and install node.js
- Clone this repository
- cd into the cloned folder
- run 'npm install' in the shell
- run 'node index.js'
The last command will start the server and get it ready to answer for client requests.
