Welcome to your Node.js project on Cloud9 IDE!
This chat example showcases how to use socket.io
with a static express
server.
Running the server
Open
server.js
and start the app by clicking on the "Run" button in the top menu.Alternatively you can launch the app from the Terminal:
$ node server.js
Once the server is running, open the project in the shape of 'https://projectname-username.c9.io/'. As you enter your name, watch the Users list (on the left) update. Once you press Enter or Send, the message is shared with all connected clients.
