Let's discover React Ultimate Messenger in less than 5 minutes.

You can go directly to the complete (Classic & PWA versions) documentation site about the application. here,

You can try Classic React Ultimate Messenger here,

You can try PWA React Ultimate Messenger

You have two versions with mobile devices menu!

With Classic bottom menu,

With Radial burger menu,

(The demo is not fully functional without the server started locally*)

*you can only send/receive messages if you have the server locally on your machine - I explain how to test the online version with your local version further in the documentation...

you just have to clone this repository.

Create a folder, go to it and open your terminal from this folder of course,

There is one line of code to do before the contribution to the App...

git clone https://github.com/rodolphe37/rum-open-sources.git

Run the development server:

go to your folder app

cd my-app

At this stage, you have two lines of code to do:

• I made several scripts in the package.json so that everything is automatic!

The first line is for initializing all servers

npm run initAll

• This script will first install the necessary node_modules in the messages-images server, then create an uploads folder (in which the images sent in the chat will be sent), then rename the .env.example file to .env.
• And finally, he will rename the .env.local.example file to .env.local & .nvmrc.example to .nvmrc in the React frontend folder.

If you have nvm installed:

the chat application requires at least version 12 of Node.js, the nvmrc file is initialized with version 14.15.1. If you have version 12 or higher everything will work fine! Otherwise you can change your Node version by simply doing:

nvm use

And the second line is to start all the services.

npm run dev

With this single line of code you will start

• the server that manages the chat (messages and images) on port 4000,
• as well as the classic React frontend on the classic port 3000.

Your site starts at http://localhost:3000.

• At this level of the tutorial, you have your backend server(s) and your site started and open at the classic address. You just have to open in another browser window the demo that corresponds to the version you just installed (link available at the top of the page). Then you just have to connect to the same room in both windows and start testing your version.

The left window is the online (prod) version - The right window is your local (dev) version.

• Enjoy!

Of course, it is important to contact me beforehand to submit the idea of your feature, or to discuss the important points in this project, the logic, the paradigm and the dynamics...

Open your App folder with your usual editor and start making your React App as usual!

Create a local branch, work on it, then make a pull request on the contribution branch, I will do the code review and integration on the prod version if your feature is stable, reliable and interesting for the dev/users who will use this Web Application.

Classic React Ultimate Messenger,

PWA React Ultimate Messenger,

Enjoy the World 😏

I put almost everything open-source I can, and try to accommodate anyone who needs help using these projects. Obviously, this takes time. You can use this service for free.

However, if you are using this project and are happy with it or just want to encourage me to keep creating: -

• Put a star and share the project 🚀

Thank you! ❤️
