💡 websocket-chat

A basic example app using nlon over Websocket, powered by Express and Webpack.

Usage

Checkout the repo and install dependencies by running the following in the example’s directory:

pnpm install

Once that’s done, you can start the application:

pnpm start

This will build the frontend and launch the server. If you’d like to work on the source, use the following:

pnpm run start:dev

This will watch the code for changes, rebuilding the frontend and restart the server as needed.

With your server running, open http://localhost:3000/ to see the app running.

nlon in the browser

While nlon is not bound to any environment/runtime, the reference implementation uses a few Node modules. To run this code in the browser, you need to provide polyfills for those modules, see the webpack config for a list of modules and their polyfills.

The WebSocket adapter is isomorphic, so it can be used safely both from Node and in the browser.
