## How to use?

- Start the server using `go run cmd/server/main.go [-addr]`

- Start the client using `go run cmd/client/main.go [-addr] [-user] [-tui] [-room]`

Don't have golang installed? Download the executables from [here](https://github.com/Aksh-Bansal-dev/go-terminal-chat/releases/tag/v1.0.0).

- Use `::` to send emoji.

- Use `>username ` to send a private message to username.

## How it works?

It uses websockets for server-client communication and Sqlite for storing all messages.

## How can I add more emojis?

Add emojis which you want to add in `internal/textParser/emoji.go` and create a PR.
