VueJS Chat

Currently being refactored...

Real-time chat application built with Node.js, VueJS & Socket.io.

This application uses Socket.io to send messages in real-time. VueJS is used to bind data to the DOM and to easily manipulate the data.
I use some ES6 syntax so please use Node 8, or change the syntax.

Installation

1. Clone the repository
2. CD in to the directory that was cloned
3. Install dependencies npm i
4. Build your application npm run build
5. Start the application npm run dev or npm start (depending if you have nodemon installed)
