This is a realtime web application demo, which uses RethinkDB and WebSocket technology to synchronize information exchange between front-end applications in realtime.
| Link | Description |
|---|---|
| Node.js | Event-driven I/O server-side JavaScript environment based on V8. |
| RethinkDB | RethinkDB is the first open-source, scalable JSON database built from the ground up for the realtime web. It inverts the traditional database architecture by exposing an exciting new access model – instead of polling for changes, the developer can tell RethinkDB to continuously push updated query results to applications in realtime. |
| Express | Express is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications. |
| Socket.io | Socket.io enables realtime, bi-directional communication between web clients and servers, using WebSockets when possible, uses polling as a fallback option. |
Setup:
- Setup and start RethinkDB
- Install Node.js
- Clone this repo
- Install server-side dependencies by running
npm installin the project directory - Start the demo server by running
node .in the project directory
After the server has started, point your browser to the following URL's:
