LookAtMe is my first attempt at making a Socket.IO web application. It has given me a lot of new ways to think about how to make a code scalable. The real-time feature of LookAtMe will also build upon my future projects such as real-time messaging applications and so.
Just follow the steps below and you should be good to go.
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/nheek/lookatme.git your-project
-
Change into the project directory:
cd your-project
Run the development server using nodemon:
npm run devClick the button and see the total clicked count update in almost real-time. It also logs the amount of people currently watching the page and the overall views. A simple yet intuitive way to learn about Socket.IO.
Deploy using your preferred deployment method.
- SQL file in source code
- Make it really real-time, right now there's a one second delay to prevent database overloading
- Statistics page where users can see historical data like daily clicks/views
