allChat

The project allChat is one of components of project hifi_wechat which based on nodejs express frame, wechat SDK and socket.io. In this project I rewrite it with egg.js, added some new features and optimized. I only spend 3 days to re-construct the project, maybe there are many problems remained. If you find any bugs, wish you can concat me or help me fix it. Thanks!.

You might need to know egg.js and webpack first.

QuickStart

It's easy to start allChat on your computer. Please notice that my nodejs version is 8.9.0.

1. Fetch allChat.

$ git clone https://github.com/PorYoung/allChat.git

2. Go to the project directory and install dependencies.

$ npm i

3. You might need use webpack-cli to build static files.

$ npm i webpack-cli -g
$ npm run build

4. run egg.js project

$ npm run dev

5. Don't forget the database which I used mongodb, install it and start it directly, the connection configuration is in config/config.default.js. It's egg-mongoose here, which help you use mongoose in egg app.

config.mongoose = {
  client: {
    url: 'mongodb://127.0.0.1/chat',
    options: {},
  },
};

see [egg docs][egg] and webpack docs for more detail.
