GoferChat

GoferChat is a websocket based chat server written in Go with an included and optional Svelte Front-End.

Running GoferChat

If you wish to use the built in GoferChat frontend written in Sevlte, you need to first complie the Svelte code. To do so, enter the following commands:

$ cd client
$ npm install
$ npm run build
$ cd ..

If you wish to build your own Front-End for GoferChat, place the files to be served in the ./client/build/ directory. Make sure the main application is named index.html and the login page is login.html. For any other static files, GoferChat will serve them statically for you in the ./client/build/ directory.

Once you've initalized the Front-End, you can build and run the backend by running the following commands:

$ go build .
$ ./gofer-chat
