Just a simple chat app between a client and server using websockets. Made for myself in order to understand how websockets worked.
I'll do the same thing for socket.io as well.
Run two instances of your CLI, each directed to the "client" and "server" folders respectively and run the command node index.js on the both of them.
Currently works well with Postman acting as a client. Run "node index.js" for starting the server.
Simple client and server programmed but needs to be run in separate CLI instances. Written messages can be sent from the server to clients but needs more work.
Server messaging transmits across all clients but too many events created server side. Needs a fix! Also need to implement client nametags and messaging.
Clients now have names but it can be done better. Client messages however are not broadcast to the everyone. Need to do that.
Messages are now broadcast to everyone in the server! Need to handle messages on a client disconnecting. Should I try making some kind of server browser?
Tried making the project run with Webpack and Serve.
Trying to have Webpack and Websockets to run together but in vain. This part is gonna be lengthy.
Fuck it. Gotta start over.
Major overhaul accomplished. Only server frontend is remaining, along with some polishing.
Started server frontend. Messages sent between the server and the clients are coming as Blobs and I wonder why.
