This is an example project for TalkJS's tutorial on how to build a Node.js chat app with TalkJS.

This example demonstrates how to integrate TalkJS with an application that has a Node.js backend. There are two projects inside the repo:

• The talkjs-backend project contains the Node.js backend, which serves a REST endpoint with user data.
• The talkjs-frontend project contains the frontend code, which uses TalkJS's JavaScript SDK to create chats between users.

To run this tutorial, you will need:

• A TalkJS account
• Node.js

1. Clone or download this project.

2. From the talkjs-backend directory:

   1. Run npm install to build the project
   2. Run npm start to start the server and add test users to the database

3. From the talkjs-frontend directory:

   1. Replace <APP_ID> in script.js with the value found in the Settings tab of your TalkJS dashboard.
   2. Open index.html from a browser, or through an extension like VS Code's Live Server, to view the app
