I made a chat room using electron. But when I send a message to the server and from there the message will be displayed to the users for some reason the message is being displayed multiple times. Example: I send -> "hello" the message will be displayed once, when I send a second message ->"Hello server" the message will be display two times, when I sent a third message ->"ok" this message will be displayed three times. The fourth message will be displayed 4 times etc.
this is the renderer.js code:
const ws = new WebSocket("ws://127.0.0.1:5000");
ws.addEventListener('open', function(event){
ws.send('hello server');
console.log("data sent");
});
function send_data(){
console.log("button clicked");
ws.send(document.getElementById("input_text").value);
ws.addEventListener('message', function(event){
console.log("server send something");
let mess=event.data;
console.log(mess);
update_chat(mess);
});
};
function update_chat(mess){
const div = document.createElement('div');
div.classList.add('message');
div.innerHTML = `okwpegjwpgj said: ${mess}`;
document.querySelector('.chat_messages').appendChild(div);
}
this is the server.js code:
const WebSocket = require('ws');
let broadcast_msg;
const PORT = 5000;
const wss = new WebSocket.Server({
port: PORT
});
wss.on("connection", ws =>{
ws.on('message', function incoming(message){
broadcast_msg=message;
console.log('received: ', message);
ws.send(message);
});
});
console.log("Server is liestening on port " + PORT);
Change your renderer.js file to this:
const ws = new WebSocket("ws://127.0.0.1:5000");
ws.addEventListener('open', function(event){
ws.send('hello server');
console.log("data sent");
});
ws.addEventListener('message', function(event){
console.log("server send something");
let mess=event.data;
console.log(mess);
update_chat(mess);
});
function send_data(){
console.log("button clicked");
ws.send(document.getElementById("input_text").value);
};
function update_chat(mess){
const div = document.createElement('div');
div.classList.add('message');
div.innerHTML = `okwpegjwpgj said: ${mess}`;
document.querySelector('.chat_messages').appendChild(div);
}
