Project Title

Simple Chat Application

Description

This project is a simple WebSocket based chat application.

Getting Started

Dependencies

• Golang
• Web Browser (Any of them)

How does it work?

• First, the Go module needs to be installed.

go mod init chatapp
go get github.com/gorilla/websocket

• Then, the project can be run via terminal/cmd.

go build chat_app.go
main

or

go run chat_app.go

• Then we open our index.html file via the web browser. Since the chat can be done with at least two people, it is recommended that you open it in 2 different ways.
• Then we write the message we want to send in the relevant box and click the Send button. A username entry box appears as a pop-up. We enter the name we want in the relevant section and click OK and our message has been sent successfully.
• The other side repeats the same process and we create a conversation.
• When the web page is refreshed, the messages are deleted and the chat starts from the beginning.

Project Features

• This project allows simple chatting over localhost using WebSocket.
