Node.js application serving a chat-room

Chat-box

This project is a node.js application serving a chat-room where people can be joined by their names. People who are online are shown aside. I've also deployed this node app on Heroku.

Dependencies

• node.js / npm
• socket.io
• express
• ejs
• nodemon

Usage

• Download and run npm install.
• Then, run locally, npm start.
• Go the localhost server with port 8000.
• Open different sessions while running, fix usernames and start chatting.
• In case, you wanted to add your own IP address, update index.js like this example:

var server = app.listen(port, "192.168.56.102", function(){
	console.log('Listening to requests on port ' + port);
});

• Also, in continuation of above point, please update public/js/chat.js also with your IP address and port number as below:

var socket = io.connect("http://192.168.56.102:8000/");
