A chat application made for my PR01-5 school project. Created with the Sails MVC framework for NodeJS.
The goal of this project was to learn the MVC principle using a framework of my own choice, and creating an actual working application with that chosen framework.
The front-end of FlowTalk was made using Materialize; a front-end framework based on Material Design. I also used SASS to customize the design to my own liking and it is compiled to CSS automatically by adding a SASS compiler task to Grunt.
The FlowTalk chat application uses websockets to send real-time messages between server and clients. Sails implements real-time communication between server and client on the server using the socket.io library, and on the client using the sails.io.js library.
