go-nats-chat-server

This is a simple chat server developed in go using NATS.

Starting the Project

1. Start the NATS service on Docker by running the following command: docker run -d -p 4222:4222 -p 8222:8222 -p 6222:6222 --name nats-server -ti nats:latest -js
2. Run go run main.go
3. Open any HTTP client(like Postman) and connect to the following WebSocket URL on two different tabs: ws://localhost:8080/chat/general
4. Start sending messages with the following payload:

  {
    "text": "hello!"
  }
