Chat Server IO

Chat server implementation using SocketServer.IO in Java code for server-side and simple index.html for client-side. Added implementation improvement such as:

  • Broadcast a message to connected users when someone connects or disconnects.
  • Add support for nicknames.
  • Don’t send the same message to the user that sent it. Instead, append the message directly as soon as they press enter.
  • Add “{user} is typing” functionality.
  • Show who’s online.
  • Add private messaging.

How to run

  1. Run the server by running the HelloServer.java file.
  2. Open the index.html file in your browser by accessing: http://localhost:3000/
  3. Start chatting!

How to use

  1. Enter your nickname and press enter to join the chat.
  2. Click on the user's name to send a private message to them.
  3. Unclick to stop sending private message and continue to public message.
  4. Start chatting with your friends!

  5. Use the /public command to send a public message to all users.
