This application shows how to integrate Pusher with a Node.js/Express/MongoDB backend and React in the front-end.

1. Create an app on Pusher and copy your app's id, key, and secret.`
   

routes/api.js

const pusher = new Pusher({
    appId: "<Pusher App ID>",
    key: "<Pusher Api Key>",
    secret: "<Pusher Secret>",
    cluster: "<Pusher cluster>",
    useTLS: true,
});

And

views/index.ejs

var PUSHER_APP_KEY = "<Pusher Api Key>";

2. Clone this repository and cd into it.
3. Start the MongoDB server
4. Execute npm install to download dependencies.

1. Go to http://localhost:3000 and start sending playing with the app using Postman to communicate with the API or the Pusher console to test only the front-end part.

• We have used AJAX requests for Demo

• A free Pusher account
• Node.js version 5 or greater
• A MongoDB database
