Hello everyone!
A new sample project is available: the Chat platform.
The source code can be found here.
Socket.IO is a library that enables low-latency, bidirectional and event-based communication between a client and a server.
To achieve this, it automatically selects the best available low-level transport between WebTransport, WebSocket and HTTP long-polling, based on the capabilities of the client platform and the network.
Goal
The goal of this project is to provide a full-blown project based on Socket.IO with:
- authentication/user registration
- public and private messaging
- proper reconnection management
- presence management
The source code is provided with a permissive MIT license, so that you can use it/extend it to your will.
How to use
Check out the code here and follow the instructions in the README.
