Usage

Git clone the above repository and run the command:

node server.js 127.0.0.1

Press Ctrl + C to shutdown the server.

Important note

It is important to use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost. This is because most browsers implement the CORS policy that does not allow the client side javascript to access the resources outside its domain. To read more about it, click here.

To change the port number

Edit the 'server.js' file and 'index.js'.
