# Node.js Chat App

A basic realtime chat application that runs on Node.js or in a Docker container.

The client and user interface is written in html/css/js and served from the base route of the app `/`.

The server supports multiple clients and provides each of them with a unique identity which is generated upon connection. It shares messages between all clients connected to the chat room and broadcasts when a user connects or disconnects.
