This project was bootstrapped with Create React App and based on Socket.io.
You have to install on your computer :
At first, you have to use this command at the root of the folder
npm install
When you have successly installed all the packages you can start your server, it will be launch on the port 8000
node server
You should get a successful message
At first, you have to use this command in the "client" folder
npm install
When you have successly installed all the packages you can start your client, it will be launch on the port 3000
npm start
After a few seconds your favourite browser will open your website
When your server starts it will be waiting for an event from the clients.
When you are on your client, I use the React Context to create the connection to the server, then I set my events in events.js and my requests to the servers in emit.js.
When I need a response from the server I will send a request that asks the server to process the information.
The server will emit an event at the end of the processing that the client(s) will intercept and store the data in the Context. React will use the useEffect to update the components and display the content in real time.
For more information you can find the documentation in the code or on the documentation of React and Socket.io.
