easy-chat-client

Features

easy-chat implements real-time bidirectional event-based communication. It consists of:

• a Javascript client library (this repository)
• a Node Js Server for the browser (or a Node.js client)

Its main features are:

Reliability

Connections are established even in the presence of:

• proxies and load balancers.
• personal firewall and antivirus software.

For this purpose, it relies on socket io, which first establishes connection to the backend server using the best possible transports.

Minimalistic chat implementation support

You do not need to understand the internal structures and operation of websockets and chat systems. All you need to do is call create a room, heck you not need to destroy a room as this is handled intelligently and automatically;

Simple and convenient API

import { initEasyChat } from "easy-chat-client";

const { easyChatClient, easyChatController } = initEasyChat(
  url, // server url
  userId, // current user uniques, its is importnat that this stays unique throughout your application
  userNames, // user names
  userPhotoUrl // absolute file url for the user photo
);

Installation
