# ChatApp 

This is a realtime chatbox implementation where multiple users join in a single chgat pool. I worked on this with motive to learn these cool tech - 

  - backend : [GO](https://golang.org/)

  - frontend : [ReactJs](https://reactjs.org/)

  - communication protocol : [Websocket](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket#:~:text=WebSocket%20is%20a%20computer%20communications,being%20standardized%20by%20the%20W3C.)

# How to run

## backend

Follow these commands to spin up a go server which listens to port `:8080` and boradcats messages to clients using websocket

```

  (install go if you haven't already)

  git clone https://github.com/dbarochiya/chatapp.git

  cd chatapp/backend

  go run main.go

``` 

## frontend

THis will spin up frontend react server running on `:3000` 

``` 

 (install npm if you haven't already)

  git clone https://github.com/dbarochiya/chatapp.git
