bisohns/gosock

A foray into sockets using golang

GoSOCK

This is a basic implementation of a chatroom using websockets. Embedded in this project is also a custom logging library

Overview

Install

    go get github.com/deven96/gosock

Usage

To use the logging library, call this snippet preferably in the init

    import (
        "github.com/deven96/gosock/pkg/custlog"
    )
    
    func init() {
        // name the log file "test.log" and write to it in append mode
        def_writers := custlog.DefaultWriters("test.log", true)
        custlog.LogInit(def_writers)
    }

    func main(){
        custlog.Info.Println("This is just information")
        custlog.Warning.Println("This is just a warning")
        custlog.Error.Println("This is just an error")
    }

To run the project,

    cd $GOPATH/github.com/deven96/gosock

    # run the project in develop mode
    go run *.go

    # generate executable for current os
    go build github.com/deven96/gosock

    # run the executable
    ./gosock

Example Interaction

TODO

• Incorporate a standard Golang ORM
• Include User and Message models
• Extend chat interface to include login and signup
• Include face avatar on every message
• Create a Rudeness API that can detect how unsensitive a statement is
• Kick avatar out after every 3 overly rude messages
• Deploy on Linode server
• Linode deploy should be linked to Travis pipeline
