Web Sockets

For this lab, you will create a very basic version of Google Docs in your Laravel app.

Start by creating a public route /docs in your Laravel project. On this page, display a simple editor using an editable div through the contenteditable attribute.

Users will be able to type content into this div. As a user types, send the content through the web socket connection so that all connected clients receive it and see the most up to date document.

Submission

  • Deploy your web socket server to Heroku.
  • Deploy your Laravel app to Heroku.
  • Send an email to me and the TA with the GitHub URL to the Laravel repo, the GitHub URL to the Node.js repo, and the Heroku URL to the /docs page. Please use the subject line ITP 405 Lab Submission - Node 3: Web Sockets.
