Class Chat Practice Application

I'm a beginner in the world of programming and I could really use some assistance with troubleshooting my ChatApp.

My goal is to have my server send the message "Robot: (client's username) connected" whenever someone logs on.

I've been grappling with this issue for the past four hours during my class. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can find my code on Github at https://github.com/Liangalvin/ChatApp

Currently, instead of displaying the client's username, the DOM is showing 

"Robot: [object object] connected"
. It's not functioning as intended.

"Machine: " + aVariable + " linked".

The correct format should be

"Machine: " + aVariable.aProperty + " linked"

Therefore, try using console.log(aVariable) to examine its contents
