Chat example

A minimal chat server and client demonstrating the socketio package: broadcast events, rooms, and acknowledgements.

Run

Start the server:

go run ./examples/chat-server

In another terminal, start one or more clients:

go run ./examples/chat-client

Commands

In the client, type a plain line to broadcast a message to everyone, or use:

• /join <room> / /leave <room> — join or leave a room
• /room <room> <text> — send a message to a room only
• /ping — exercise an acknowledgement round-trip

Note that Server.BroadcastToRoom includes the sender, while a socket's own To(room) operator targets everyone in the room except the sender, matching the official socket.io socket.to(room) semantics.

Stop the server to watch the client reconnect (enabled via Reconnection).
