The project:

• is Full JS stack
• uses gitter stream api
• captures data in an express.js server and passes data to a basic front-end (jQuery d3.js) using socket.io
• manipulates data and create a simple viz on real time at front-end

The project is a simple . It is intended to provide FreeCodeCamp (FCC) with useful metrics about how users are performing in the Gitter chatrooms.

The demo only runs in local. It was made to run in localhost port 3000

IMPORTANT: you are also required to create a config/config.js folder/file and add:

• Your Gitter Token (Check https://developer.gitter.im/docs/welcome)

They should be passed to routes/index.js file as Config.token and Config.roomId respectively.

To install the project you should have node.js installed. Clone/Pull the project into a desired location and run:

Then after installation, you can start the project by using:
