In this section, we'll be creating a real-time chat application using Node and Socket.io. We'll be writing a small amount of code with Node.js and the Express framework, but it's all the same JavaScript that you know and love.
Run the following in your Terminal to create a new project:
# Create a new Vue project $ vue init webpack-simple vue-chat # Navigate to directory $ cd vue-chat # Install dependencies $ npm install # Run application $ npm run dev
We can then create a server folder and initialize a package.json for server-specific dependencies like so:
# Create a new folder named server $ mkdir server # Navigate to directory $ cd server # Make a server.js file $ touch server.js # Initialise a new package.json $ npm init -y # Install dependencies $ npm install socket.io express --save
