About

This project uses Feathers. An open source framework for building APIs and real-time applications.

Getting Started

Make sure you have NodeJS and npm installed.
Install your dependencies
```
cd path/to/blabber-backend
npm install
```
Start your app
```
npm start
```

We can run on multiple ports for scaling

PORT=3030 npm start
PORT=3031 npm start
PORT=3032 npm start

If you run on multiple port, you have to use nginx for load balancing. We can use this config in nginx.conf file. With this configuration, all three instances are runing on single port : http://localhost:3000, so use this new url for backend

upstream blabber_backend {
	ip_hash;
	server localhost:3030;
	server localhost:3031;
	server localhost:3032;
}

server {
	listen 3000;
	root path/to/blabber-backend;

	location / {
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
		proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
		proxy_http_version 1.1;
		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
		proxy_set_header Host $host;
		proxy_pass http://blabber_backend;
	}
}

Check backend documentation at this Link
Check the test.html file to know how to receive sockets events (you have to login via socket before receiving event)

Testing

Run npm test and all your tests in the test/ directory will be run.

Scaffolding

This app comes with a powerful command line interface for Feathers. Here are a few things it can do:

$ npx feathers help                           # Show all commands
$ npx feathers generate service               # Generate a new Service
