Work Log

• meyern4.
• nickchan99.
  • Used random-picture package from npm to generate a random image when a chat user types 'random-pic'.
  • Altered html to not log the message to the screen when sending it. The server receives it and echoes it back to the client to confirm it was received.
  • Message is echoed back to client since generating the image requires a server response, the client cannot generate the random image.
  • Changed jQuery appending in the html file to accept html. This formats the server-generated image string and displays it on the screen.
