This project was made to learn Angular 16 and Spring boot 3. The goal was to create a app similar to WhatsApp Web. The app is responsive.
- Real time messaging (using websockets)
- Delayed messaging, for example when a user sends a message to another offline user (using HTTP requests)
- Receiving web push in browser notifications when receiving messages while the app is not opened
- Adding friends
Note : You also receive it when the page isn't opened. You can press the "Go to conversation" button to open the app in the right conversation.
- Install node v18.17.0 & npm 9.6.7
- Run
npm install - Put the URL of the API and the VAPID key of the API server in
envrionment.dev.ts(for push notifications)
Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The application will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.
Run ng generate component component-name to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive|pipe|service|class|guard|interface|enum|module.
Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory.
Run ng test to execute the unit tests via Karma.
Run ng e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via a platform of your choice. To use this command, you need to first add a package that implements end-to-end testing capabilities.
