Introducing "CHAT APP": A JavaScript App!
CHAT APP is a user-friendly web app that uses session storage to move a user around and allow them to send and receive messages in certain channels with a similar UI to many other chatting applications on the market. It was created to demonstrate a simple understanding of JavaScript concepts and implement them into a functional program.
You can visit CHAT APP to try the app online.
Everything you need to visit the site and use this application without cloning to your local machine is in the link above.
If you wish to run the application locally, you may do so as well!
To run "CHAT APP" On your machine, you must have an IDE capable of running Java 11. If you use any other Java version, you may encounter bugs.
You will also need to have the MySQL Editor application or a similar app that can run MySQL on your machine and be able to run your own local database on a port of your choosing. The default port will be 3306 and the database will automatically create itself at runtime. If you need to change the port, you can head over to the application.properties file and change it there.
You can add your database login info here: "spring.datasource.username=" and "spring.datasource.password="
