JSweet 3 + Node.js / Socket.IO server + Angular material web client example

The classic Socket.IO example: a simple instant messenger. Server is spawned by Node.js and Web UI is powered by Angular. Both are linked together by Socket.IO

Find more info about this example on the original tutorial by following this link: http://socket.io/get-started/chat/

All these example are written in Java using the JSweet APIs (candies). They are then transpiled to JavaScript by the JSweet transpiler.

###Try it here: http://examples.jsweet.org:1337

Build it

Just build it using Gulp:

> git clone https://github.com/lgrignon/jsweet-node-example.git
> cd jsweet-node-example
> npm install
> npx bower install
> npx gulp buildClientAndServer
> npx gulp static

gulp buildClientAndServer executes behind the scene gulp buildServer and gulp buildClient, which runs respectively mvn generate-sources -P server and mvn generate-sources -P client. gulp static launches static resources generation such as jade transpilation, resources copy, bower libs concat & minify. The output folder is build.

Run it

Once built:

> cd build
> node server/Globals.js

Then, one could browse the chat by accessing http://localhost:1337/ in a browser.

Prerequisites

The node and npm executables must be in the path (https://nodejs.org). bower and gulp should be installed as well. Install Maven (https://maven.apache.org/install.html).
