a Sails application
Yikes! is a simple chat application based upon the following stack: [1] Angular.js [2] Sails.js [3] MongoDB
To make use of this wonderful application in your own systems, clone or download this repository:
- Install Node.js and with it NPM Package Manager
- Open cmd or terminal in this application directory and run 'npm install'
- In the same directory run 'sails lift'
- Now it is all set and you can view the application from the browser at 'http://localhost:1337'
The core logic of the application lies in the fact that the chats use web sockets to function asynchronously, meaning that no conventional API calls or request-responses happen. Instead, once a user gets into his dashboard, he subscribed to the server for listening to changes so that any new chat is transmitted asynschronously.
The database is hosted on mLab so that conventional and default data can be used to smoothen the workflow and demo experience.
Star it if you like it! :D
