chess.demo.mp4

Starting the game

Localhost

Start the game on two different tabs and start playing.

Deployed app

Same steps as localhost. If a player is already waiting before you start the game, game will start without having to open another tab.

Setting up Locally

Docker

1. clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/abhinav700/chessapp.git
   

2. cd ./chessapp
3. run docker-compose up in /backend to directory to start the server at localhost:8080
4. run docker-compose up in /client directory to start the frontend at localhost:3000

(NOTE: Use docker compose instead of docker-compose if you are using docker compose V2)

Source code changes are automatically reflected in the running Docker containers without requiring a restart. This means any modifications made to the project's source code will be immediately visible within the application running inside the container.

Manually

1. clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/abhinav700/chessapp.git
   

2. cd ./chessapp
3. run npm install command in /client and /backend directories to install the dependencies
4. run npm run dev in /backend to directory to start the nodemon server at localhost:8080
5. run npm run start in client directory to start the frontend at localhost:3000
