# tcp-chat
This is a super basic TCP server that anyone can connect to without implementing any sophisticated protocols or commands:
- When the server is connected, it greets you and asks for you name. It tells you how many other clients are connected.
- Upon typing in your name followed by Enter, you're considered connected.
- When connected, you can receive and send messages to other connected clients by typing and pressing Enter.
Run this code to spawn your TCP to the server:
$ node server.js
When listen executes, it binds the server to the port 3000 and subsenquetly prints a message to the server terminal. An important method is listen, which allows you to bind the server to a port. Because this method is asynchronous, it also receives a callback.
Whithin several terminals run this code to attemp a connection with telnet:
$ telnet 127.0.0.1 3000
If that connection goes as expected, you will see the command and the "new connection!" output side by side.
To kill one terminal you could run:
$ ps aux | grep telnet
$ kill -9 <telnet-pid>
