Node.js Socket.IO Server

This is a simple Node.js server using the Socket.IO library. It provides real-time communication between multiple clients connected to the same room.

Requirements

• Node.js v19 or higher
• yarn package manager

Installation

• Clone the repository:

git clone git@github.com:ouakeds/room-chat-client.git

• Install dependencies:

npm install

• Create a .env file at the root of the project, and add the following environment variables:

PORT=8000 # The port on which the server will run.
FRONT_URL=http://localhost:3000 # The URL of the front-end application, to enable Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS).

To start the server, run:

npm run dev

or in production:

npm run build
npm start

The server will listen on the port specified in the PORT environment variable.

Socket.IO

Socket.IO is used to enable real-time communication between clients connected to the same room. When a client sends a message, it is broadcasted to all other clients in the same room.

The server-side Socket.IO code can be found in the index.ts file.
