Meteor SuperChat

Smart package for SuperChat. Superchat is a chat that includes Social Login and Github Flavored Markdown.

Works with Meteor release 0.6.4.1 and below only.

If you don't need persistence see SuperChat-Streams instead.

WARNING

This package is much more behind than SuperChat-Streams. It presents some bugs that may be not corrected by me. I'm dedicated to the other package.

Quick Start

You need to configure at least one kind of account. Supported social plataforms now are:

• Facebook
• Google
• Twitter (Twitter API v1.1 requires OAuth authenticated requests to get profile picture)

For example, with Google:

meteor add accounts-google

<template name="index">
  {{> chatroom}}
</template>

Configuration

If you don't want to have a global chat for entire website, you can set a Path so you can have a different chat box for each Path you set. What's needed to do on javascript part is set a Path. Path is a reactive source of current page path (like window.location.pathname). So, whenever it changes, it must be updated calling Path.set(path)

Example with mini-pages

Meteor.pages({
  '/': {to: 'index', before: setPath}
});

function setPath () {
  Path.set(Meteor.router.path());
}

Example with router

Meteor.Router.add({
  '/': { to: 'index', and: setPath}
});

function setPath () {
  Path.set(Meteor.Router.page());
}

Making height responsive

Template.parentTemplate.rendered = function() {
	$(window).resize(function () {
		var height = $(this).height(); // you can set a value you want here
		$('#chat-wrapper').height(height);
	});
	$(window).resize(); // trigger the resize
}
