Requirements: nodejs
This project was created as sample server code for a javascript / backbone.js workshop. It has not been tested in real-life scenarios, because it's purpose has been strictly educational.
The workshop's goal was to teach a better style of frontend development with javascript.
The source contains two directories:
- server
- client
The server is complete and can be run as-is. The client directory has many parts missing, with the intention that attendees of the workshop would implement them.
However, the GitHub repository also contains a complete
branch, which
contains a client for this server that has been fully implemented. If you
arrived at the github page, hoping to find a full example for a javascript
server and client, the complete
branch is where you need to be.
- cd server
- Run
node ChatServer.js
- This will start the server on http://localhost:8080/
After this, open the client code (index.html) in a browser. The url to the
server can be configured in the client/js/chatapp.js
file.
