A Chat Client App

Hey!! This is a Chat Client that I made as a practice project during Quarantine to refresh my Node.js Skills.

• Uses Socket.io on top of Express.js for real time client to client communication
• Used MongoDB hosted on Mlab to store the messages
• Frontend built using Materialize.css and jQuery
• Tests written using Jasmine Testing Framework

I loved making this xD

How to Run?

1. Clone the Repository into your computer.
2. Open a Terminal in the Repository folder.
3. You'll need to install all the dependencies to run the project. Execute npm install
4. Please Make sure you replace the user credentials in the server.js file for MongoDB with yours. The Project will not execute as I have left the space YOUR MLAB USERNAME and YOUR MLAB PASSWORD.
5. Then, after the dependencies are installed, please make sure you install nodemon into your sytem using npm install -g nodemon. Then, run npm start to run the project.
6. Navigate to 127.0.0.1:3000 to see the output.
7. You can also run the tests using npm test

Thanks for being here <3
