A simple chat-server based on socket.io

1. Clone repository.
2. Run npm i.
3. Run node app.js.

Live example: https://chat-server.fbg.pl

Connecting to the server

1. Install socket.io client:

npm i socket.io-client

2. Initialize socket connection:

import * as io from 'socket.io-client';

// ...

const connection = io.connect('https://chat-server.fbg.pl');

3. Sending events:

connection.emit('chat message', { text: 'Message text', authorId: 'John Doe' });

As a response you will receive:

{
    authorId: 'John Doe',
    id: 'huSfgxpQTy'
    text: 'Message text'
    timestamp: 1587727149888
}

4. Listening for the events:

connection.on('chat message', (message) => console.warn(message));
