This project was generated with Angular CLI version 7. This is a tech demo for angular with socket.io in a NodeJs express server.
Run npm start for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.
Run npm run start:server for a api.
At startup, the client will established a websocket connection to the api under localhost:4001/api/mysocket. The Angular app uses
localhost:4200/api/mysocket by it's local proxy settings.
To try out the application, open it twiche in different browsers or via local ip in a diffrent device in your current network. Then type in a message in the second input filed and hit enter. This message should be instantaneously visible on all clients. To change a room, enter a new room name in the first input field and hit enter. Then type in a message. Only clients that are also participant of this room, will get the messages.
Same works with the reload button. It will reload all other clients and not the sender.
