SocketChatapp

A thing I made that uses a webserver written in C++ that function as a chat app.

How to use

The executable is built using Visual Studio.

Make sure the frontend folder is in the same directory as the executable.

The messsages will be stored in data/data.txt as plain text.

Running the executable

The port and address can be specified either by using command line arguments or inputted after starting.

$ SocketChatapp 127.0.0.1 8080

or

$ SocketChatapp
Address: 127.0.0.1
Port: 8080

The webserver will be started on the specified IP address and port.

Message format

From server:

{messages:[/*messages*/]}

To server:

{
  msg: "name:message"
}

The message format is [name]:[message] when stored in the data.txt file.
