This is a simple chat, built for Vacasa's Lunch & Learn, and MeetUps, as proof of concept to teach the concepts of building Node.js backend applications using Nestjs.
It uses Angular for the frontend, and implements websocket for real time messaging.
Clone or download the repo and install the dependencies.
$ git clone https://github.com/rrriki/vacasa-chat
$ cd vacasa-chat
$ npm install --prefix ./frontend
$ npm install --prefix ./backend
You will need to set up the environment variables, the easiest way to do this, is to create a .env file in the backend's root directory with the following variables:
# SERVER
PORT=8080
JWT_SECRET=yoursecret
# MONGO
MONGO_URI=mongodb://mongourl/Make sure your frontend environment variables match this set-up.
Finally, start both apps, running npm start inside each folder (backend & frontend)
