REDWEBAPI guide

From Hello World to authenticated multiplayer.

Build a two-player tic-tac-toe game using Redweb TSX and routed sockets. No React, no second server, no giant first step.

Three runnable checkpoints, six short chapters. Requires Node 22.13+ and npm; the final browser tests use installed Google Chrome. Uses published Redweb 0.14.0 and redweb-client 0.2.0.

Download the complete project Setup, optional configuration, and limits

  1. Hello World

    Render a TSX page with a minimal application entry point.

  2. Server-owned state

    Make two tabs share a reactive counter without browser glue.

  3. The server is the referee

    Model and test turns, wins, ownership, and stale moves.

  4. Typed game sockets

    Give /match separate join, move, and resume handlers.

  5. Authenticated players

    Reuse tested sign-in and compose pages, sockets, and services.

  6. Play, reconnect, and test

    Connect the TSX board with redweb-client and verify two real browsers.
