Chat is a Phoenix LiveView application for communication. It allows users to create rooms and multiple users to chat in a room. Phoenix Presence is used to show the number of online users joined in a chat room at any point of time.
It doesn't use browser based session to identify an user. Each window is considered a new user and assigned a random username.
To start your Phoenix Chat server:
- Install dependencies with
mix deps.get - Install Node.js dependencies with
npm installinside theassetsdirectory - Start Phoenix endpoint with
mix phx.server
Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.
Multiple users can join to the chat room via the room URL. http://hostname:port/<room_id>
