Chatty

This is a simple chat implemented with Server-Sent Events with Spring Boot

Overview

• Messages are sent by the client over standard HTTP
• Messages are received by the server over a SSE stream
• There is a simple chat broker by chat room
• The server sends periodically keep-alive messages to the client in order to keep or close the connection

How to run (for now)

• Execute the spring boot app api on http://localhost:8080
• cd into /frontend folder and run the Angular frontend with ng serve on http://localhost:4200/

Improvements

• Obviously a decent docker-compose.yml
• Chat room removal from broker if there's no connection after a while
