A chat application enables users to communicate in real-time. Building one from scratch involves setting up a back-end server that handles messaging logic and a front-end client that users interact with. Node.js is a popular choice for such applications due to its event-driven, non-blocking I/O model, which is perfect for real-time apps.
The tutorial will cover setting up a Node.js server, configuring WebSockets for real-time communication, and building a simple front-end using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
This guide aims to equip readers with the knowledge to build a basic chat application using Node.js. From setting up the server to creating the front-end, this tutorial provides a step-by-step approach to developing a real-time communication app.
