Hello everyone, this is a short project in order to learn the fundamental items about websockets, i have been learning socket.io using a platzi course, so this project was made to challenge myself to learn something new, i'd like that you push your changes and mark this repository with a star.

How to run the project:

clone this project using git:

cd ./webchat-project

and run the project, and enjoy it:

node --run start

if you want to share this project in a local network,follow this steps

check your IPv4 address, in windows you do it using the "ipconfig" command in a terminal, then go to the project folder and search the index.js file inside src folder, change the value of host constant to your IPv4 address, like this:

const host = "192.168.0.4";

and finally, run the project:

node --run start
