chatty-appy

A simpler version of 310's ChatApp in Golang. A user will visit a webpage, assign themselves a username, and send messages in a chat room (just like 310's chatapp).

Setting up and running the project

1. Clone repository git clone https://github.com/arixwang/chatty-appy.git
2. Change your working directory to the cloned repository's directory: cd chatty-appy
3. Run the go mod init command to initialize the Go module. Replace github.com/[GITHUB USERNAME]/chatty-appy with the actual import path you intend to use: go mod init github.com/[GITHUB USERNAME]/chatty-appy
4. Download Dependencies: use the go get command to download them: go get
5. To install the required dependencies, run npm install in your project directory
6. Run Your Application: After initializing the module and downloading the dependencies, you can run your Go application using go run main.go. Navigate to localhost:8888 in your browser. You should see the chatty appy UI

Deployment

I used heroku for deployment. You can find instructions here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli?ref=hackernoon.com. You'll get a URL generated that can be used to test chatty appy.

Once you commit the latest changees run heroku git:remote -a [CLI WEBSITE] git push heroku main Then go to the URL Heroku generated to see the chatapp
