ghChat: A JavaScript repository from HSQCoollaughing

ghChat(react version)

I hope that this project can be a chat tool for GitHub. So I will try to make it do some integration with GitHub. At present，it just support logging in with GitHub authorization and look GitHub user public information in ghChat. You can create group in ghChat for your github project and post the group link in the readme to convenient for the users' communication.

If you have anything idea about integration, welcome to create issues about feature suggestion, bug feedback or send pull requests.

Development

clone project code

git clone https://github.com/aermin/react-chat.git

create an empty file which names 'secret.js' in the root directory of this project.

But if you want to log in with GitHub authorization, use third part cdn to send files in chat, or separate configuration for DB, jwt secret, you should add content as follows in secret.js. So without this authorization, you just can't use features about send files and log in with GitHub.

module.exports = {
  client_secret: '', // client_secret of github authorization:  github-> settings ->  Developer settings to get 
  db: {
    host: '', 
    port: ,
    database: '',
    user: '',
    password: '',
  },
  secretValue: '', // secret of json web token
  qiniu: { // qiniu cdn configuration
    accessKey: '',
    secretKey: '',
    bucket: ''
  }
};
