Welcome to our Chat App! This project consists of two main components: a client-side application built with React and a server-side application using Socket.io and Express.js.
- Real-Time Communication: Utilized Socket.IO to enable seamless real-time data transfer between users, allowing instant messaging and updates.
- Online User Tracking: Display the number of online users within each chat room in real-time, enhancing user engagement and interaction.
- Join/Leave Notifications: Integrated join and leave notifications to notify users when someone joins or leaves a chat room, facilitating communication.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Implemented CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) for seamless data sharing and communication across different platforms.
- client: Contains the front-end React application.
- server: Houses the back-end server using Socket.io and Express.js.
- Cors: Used CORS to handle Cross-Origin Resource Sharing and enable secure communication between the client and server.
- Nodemon: Integrated Nodemon for automatic server restarts during development.
- React-emoji: Supports rendering emoji characters in chat messages.
- React-scroll-to-bottom: Automatically scrolls to the bottom of the chat window when new messages are received.
