WebRTC Video Chat
Simple Web Application that offer you to create video meeting room using WebRTC and Socket
Getting Started
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.
Prerequisites
You have to install Node.js in your machine.
Installing
After installing node clone the repo by using git
git clone https://github.com/50UM3N/video-chat.git
or
git clone [email protected]:50UM3N/video-chat.git
Or you can download the zip file.
Then open cmd or git bash on the project folder to install some modules that I used to build this project
Install Once
npm install
Nodemon For automatically restart the server as a dev dependency (optional)
npm i --sav-dev nodemon
Setting Database
For the database I use mongodb Atlas. But you can use the local also.
If you don't have any account in Atlas. Visit the page and create a free account then get your connection string. More at Documentation.
Rename the file .env_sample to .env then replace "connection string" to your connection string
Example
MONGO_URL=mongodb+srv://dbUser:<password>@cluster0.kfx8y.mongodb.net/myFirstDatabase?retryWrites=true&w=majority
Running the App
If you install nodemon the you can use. (devStart script is already added to the package.json)
npm run devStart
or
node server.js
