This application was created using Ruby, Rails, React, JavaScript and PostGresQL
Disaccord takes advantage of the PostGreSQL database to handle information tables which are then called by the front-end using two main objects: users and messages. Each user is an entity which has the following: ID, username, password_digest, session_token and email. Each message has an author_id which will link it to an individual user and a channel_id which will link it to the Channels table.
The channels and servers will hold both users and messages through a polymorphic association table memberships which will store both type and id.
- Material Design
- Chat support
- Multiple server functionality
- Public or private channels that handle text communications
- Ability to delete servers, channels or messages (for respective administrators)
- Other upcoming features

npm run webpack
rails s
bundle exec rails db:seed
bundle exec rails db:reset
Clone the repository onto your desktop and run npm run webpack to install all the dependencies.
Run rails s to load the PostgreSQL database and populate with the commands bundle exec rails db:seed and bundle exec rails db:reset
You will then be able to access the demo site using localhost:3000
To test out a sample state, click the Login button on the top right and use the Guest Login which will access a user with an already populated server and channel list complete with other users and their messages
