#Chatty Yet another demo Chat application for playing with websockets. This one using the following stack:

• Node.js
• Express
• socket.io
• Angular2
• Typescript

This is a typical chat application demo used for demoning socket.io. This is not an original work, most of it originates from Nic Raboy and his blog example here: link That version of code did not work with current Angular2 versions, so I updated it to Angular2.0.0-rc.5. I also changed it to use a service to handle all the websocket communications, and remove the database so as to simplify things.

To run this app:

1. install node.js
2. download both directories (client and server) into a single parent directory
3. navigate to the client directory and npm install to install the client-side node modules
4. navigate to the server directory and run npm install -g express to install express as a global module
5. run npm install -g typescript to install typescript as a global module
6. run npm install to install the server-side node modules
7. launch the application from the server folder as node app.js.
8. Use your browser to navigate to http://localhost:8079
