Chattr

A chat app made using Go and React.js

How to Use it:

• Go to the deployment
• Type your message and hit ENTER
• Wait for someone else to message back!

What's Happening:

• You send your message through the frontend
• This message gets sent to the backend through a websocket connection
• The backend then sends a pool of all messages back through the websocket
• Finally, the frontend displays all the messages that were sent while your instance of the frontend was running

How to Run it Locally:

• Open 2 terminals/powershells
• In one, run cd .\backend\
• Then run go mod tidy
• Finally run go run .
• Then for the other terminal, run cd .\frontend\
• Then run npm install
• Finally run npm run start
