1. cd client
2. npm install
3. npm install

Client gulp utilities

gulp styles - Compile sass/scss into css directory. gulp styles-watch - Watch for sass/scss file changes and auto compile into css directory. gulp clean - Clean css directory.

Server

The server will be responsible for serving data to the client such as chat messages, voice buffers, change channel messages...etc. This component does all communication to/from the client through a persistent web socket connection.

In order to successfully open a web socket connection, the client must provide a JWT token, which can be obtained through the token issuer.

1. cd server
2. npm install
3. node server.js - Start server

Token Issuer

The JWT token issuer resides in a separate process. The client will attempt to post a user's credentials to the token issuer. If they are valid, the token issuer will return a JWT token, which will then be persisted in localStorage for later consumption.

Start token issuer:

cd token_issuer npm install node main.js
