Codenames

Hosted at https://codenames-socket.herokuapp.com/

Simple implementation of the popular codenames app using

• Typescript / React / React-Router
• Golang / Gorilla Router / Gorilla Websockets
• Redis for transient game storage

Building and Running with Docker

$ docker build -t codenames .
$ docker run --rm -it -e PORT=8080 -e REDISCLOUD_URL=redis://rediscloud:@host.docker.internal:6379 -p 3000:8080 codenames

This assumes you have a Redis instance running locally on your machine exposed at port 6379. You can easily configure the above REDISCLOUD_URL variable to point to remote Redis instances as well.

Running client and server separately

In a deployed environment, this codenames app runs as a SPA with all static assets provided by the server. For development, it's convenient the run these services separately.

Running golang server:

$ (server) REDISCLOUD_URL=redis://rediscloud:@localhost:6379 go run codenames

Running React frontend server:

$ (client) npm start
