chat-app

A chat app using Node.js

The useless introduction from moi which nobody cares about. To skip, click here

Hello y'all (who's y'all now? :( ) As you can see, I am not dead. Well, I'm technically undead but let's leave that for later.

It's been so long since I did this that I am starting to forget what I used to do in this. Let me just check some of my old repositories. Aha. Back on track now.

The good old backstory for why I am doing this. So... now that I have been working on the MASK repository for a while now, I was thinking of doing something in node so as to get a proper idea of how to work on a node app without the base work already done for me (and believe me, this feels completely different from making ends meet on the MASK repo)

Stuff I have on me

For those who skipped my intro and directly came here, congrats. You made me sad ;-;

The chat app works on node, using the following modules:

• axios: to send POST requests (I don't like the form)
• express: for the app in itself = mongoose: to store and use the data
• cookie-parser: for storing the username
• socket.io: for the message service (working on it in the new branch)
• nunjucks: for the templates (when I finally get to front-end ;-;)

Current progress (and stuff to do?)

I have a good amount of back-end stuff ready. Mongoose works; data is stored properly. I got sockets up and running (thank you Part for pointing out that I need to initialize my sockets js file.) Now, for the most part, only one thing is left... Front-end! cue lightning, thunder, and all the horror stuff

Now is the time for nunjucks to finally show it's presence. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu, nunjucks. I have some templates ready, and I have converted everything into Nunjucks for now. Here's to adding new stuff :)

Also, remind me to add submit event listeners and stuff.

Cheer me on, folks (and gimme maggi ;-;)

Until then, Honk

(yes, the standard issue footer) This repository is being worked on at the moment, so stay tuned as I bring you some more stuff
