# P2P Poll App

## Install npm packages
```
npm init -y
npm install
```

Note: the frontend obtains the packages `yjs` and `y-websocket` dynamically.

## Run backend
```
node backend.js
```

### Note on Yjs suggestion
Note that the following server setup is suggested in the Yjs docs (https://docs.yjs.dev/ecosystem/connection-provider/y-websocket):
```
npm install y-websocket-server
HOST=localhost PORT=1000 npx y-websocket
```

However, across a range of npm versions, this does not work.
Nevertheless, the essential code from the `y-websocket-server` package is used here as provided in `utils.js`.

## Run frontend
Open "frontend.html" in browser.
