# SimpleChat

Built with:

  - Server side: Node.js, Socket.io, Express, Redis

  - Client side: HTML5 Boilerplate, Bootstrap, Handlebars and jQuery

This is just a proof of concept of what could be done with these technologies.

### Requires

  - Node.js

  - NPM (Node Package Manager)

  - Redis

### Get the code

    git clone https://github.com/tegioz/chat.git

### Run

Fetch dependencies:

    npm install

Launch Redis:

    

    redis-server

Launch chat server:

    

    (don't forget to launch Redis before!)

    node chatServer.js

Now open this URL in your browser:

    http://localhost:8888/

and you're done ;)

### Broadcast API

Send messages to all connected users:

    Content-Type: application/json

    POST /api/broadcast/

    {"msg": "Hello!"}
