Rendering Location Messages

The video tutorial guides viewers through creating and rendering location messages as links in a chat application. It is divided into two challenges: the first involves setting up a server-client event for location messages, and the second focuses on rendering a new template with a clickable Google Maps link. The tutorial includes testing and concludes with a preview of the next lesson on timestamps.

• To encrypt the location data

What change is made on the server to handle location messages?

• Send a confirmation back to the server

• Display the URL on the screen

• Print the URL to the console

• Ignore the event

What is the main task in the second challenge?

• Render a new template for location messages
