Using React, NodeJS + Express, this application facilitates live messing between users.
In root directory:
npm install
npm run server
In Client/ directory:
npm install
npm start
Finally, to run locally, in the main directory:
npm run dev
I recently introduced SQL database functionality to this program, which is optional. It will automatically activate if a proper .env file exists in this format:
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_USER=username
DB_PASS=password
DB_DATABASE=chat
The above configuration functions well with my local Docker setup.
