Real-Time Chat with AdonisJS, Inertia and React (TSX)

Goal

Create a real-time chat application using Server Sent Events (SSE) instead of Websockets. Utilize Inertia.js to seamlessly integrate Adonis.js backend with React frontend.

Technologies Used

• Adonis.js: A powerful Node.js framework for building web applications.
• Inertia.js: A library that allows you to create fully client-side rendered, single-page apps, without much of the complexity that comes with modern SPAs.
• React
• SSE (Event Source): A protocol allowing to push data updates to web browsers and other HTTP clients in a convenient, fast, reliable, and battery-efficient way.

Getting Started

To launch the application, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository.
2. Install dependencies using npm install.
3. Rename .env.example to .env.
4. Run docker-compose up -d.
5. Run the development server using npm run dev.
