Socket.IO is a library that enables low-latency, bidirectional and event-based communication between a client and a server.

This project is build with HTML, CSS and JavaScript

This project helps you to connect multiple users at the same time. It is like a WhatsApp Group chat where one user send a message which will be broadcast to all other users of the application.

Socket.io provides features of separate room. So rather than broadcasting the message to all users, it can be restricted to some users only who have the access of that room.

This feature can be added in the future.

This project can be run through the following command:

1. Go to nodeServer folder
2. Enter the directory with cd command
3. After that run

nodemon index.js 

OR 

node index.js

• Socket.io
