chat's Introduction

Chat

An uncreatively named chat website that I wrote when I was starting out with javascript

DO NOT USE IT FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN STUDYING THE CODE It is insecure, it will not be updated and depends on a lot of vulnerable packages.

Applications and libraries

This application uses Node.js with Express.js to run the server. The database is a PostrgeSQL instance.

Skills that I obtained from this project

  • Basic server structure, POST and GET requests to implement CRUD
  • Structuring SQL schemas and querying and updating data in them
  • XSS and CSRF
  • WebSockets
