This is a simple chat app prototype. Its main functionality is direct messaging. In addition to that it also supports group messaging. It doesn't use any DB for data persistance, it only uses local storage to store the data.
- React
- Material UI
- Node.js, Express
- Socket.io
- Docker
- Nginx
The only prerequisite to launch the app and play with it is to have Docker installed. Once it's installed just run the following script from the root directory.
./demo.sh
It'll take some time to build the images, once the images are built and containers running you can access the app in your browser at http://localhost:3000.
