GopherTalk is a multi-user chat powered by GO to explore its standard library and features like sockets, goroutines, channels and sync package.
The project was two binaries, the server located in {project-dir}/cmd/server.go and the client in {project-dir}/cmd/client.go
The server is responsible to maintain the channels with your clients open, and, redirect the messages to them.
The traffic between client-server-client is done by payloads in JSON formats established in the package internal / dto
Was use pure Socket channel to accept new clients. No specific protocol was used for communication.
The client just connect in the server (informed when start) and login with an uniq username, there is no authentication. If the username was exists in the server, its reject and asked to reconnect.
The client can talk with all people in the server or a specific user defined by command
/help: to show the help message/users: for list connected users/to {user}: to define the user to send the message/all: to define all people to send the message
Build the project
>make buildRun the server at port 8080:
>make run-serverRun client:
>make run-clientEnjoy!
