django-channels-chat

Group chat using django channels

Installation

$ pip install -U channels

Note: Recommended to install this in a virtualenv

flow

    login ----> add chat room ---> start chatting

Run the following using:

$ python manage.py runserver

Note: redis is used as channel backend and mongoDB is used for message persistence. Make sure they are installed and running in background

Goal

To understand the working of channels. Hence haven't concentrated much on frontend.

TODOs

1. better login UI (just plain html now)
2. better frontend code
