Chat App

This is a fun chat app project that I plan on adding additional features and making the UI better and really started this project wanting to get exposed to socket.io using web sockets to see how it worked transfering data real time. The frontend is built with React and the backend is node , express, socket.io, router with custom middleware to add users, remove users, get users or users in the room and cors to handle the issue of cors policy access from another location.

I have this project split where the client side is hosted on netlify and the server side is hosted on heroku. This is another project that I will convert using React Native adding notifications, a sidebar on larger screens and although you can do an emoji :) I'll read up more on a easier way when the time comes either coding it or adding a npm package.
