Find following a sample how to setup a simplified fullstack direct messaging app using:
- React
- Express
- Socket.io
- MongoDB
Run npm install
For the Database setup create a .env file. Copy the .env.sample content into it and adapt the URL to your Mongo database.
Afterwards seed in some initial users + chat history: npm run seed
Now run npm start
.
Frontend and backend should start in parallel on the same terminal.
Start chatting :)
