About The Project :: Check it out 🚀
-
Real-time Messaging with Socket.io : Our application leverages Socket.io to enable real-time, bidirectional communication between clients and the server.
-
Built with TypeScript for Type Safety : TypeScript enhances development efficiency and code quality by providing type safety, early error detection, and better tooling support. By catching type-related errors at compile time, we can reduce runtime errors and improve overall maintainability.
-
Styled with TailwindCSS : TailwindCSS allows for rapid UI development with a highly customizable design system. Instead of writing custom CSS for each component, you can apply utility classes directly in your HTML, resulting in more readable and maintainable code.
-
RESTful API with Express : The backend of our application is powered by Express, a minimalist and flexible Node.js web application framework.
-
Unit and Integration Testing with Jest : We ensure code quality and reliability by implementing unit and integration tests using Jest. By implementing tests, we can catch bugs early, validate that our code behaves as expected, and maintain confidence in our codebase as it evolves.
