Multi-Room Chat Application

Multi-room chat implementation with Socket.IO and Express

__Project Description

Prior the chat initialization, user and host exchange data in order to set up the connection and 'fake' authentication(AJAX requests). After this procedure a user is assigned to the specific room while getting the emmited information from the specific room. We came up with idea using rooms() features of Socket.IO that define arbitrary channels where socket can join() in any channel, and all messages from the server will be emitted to the specific room/channel.While the data is bouncing back and forth via websockets, host and clients maintain connection.
