This is a chat application built using the .NET Core, providing real-time communication between users. The application uses various technologies in the .NET ecosystem and services of Microsoft Azure to ensure a robust, scalable, and secure solution for enabling seamless interactions.
A front-end demo of the app is available at Netlify
- Real-time Messaging The app uses SignalR of ASP.NET Core to provide real-time messaging functionality. Users can send and receive messages in real-time, facilitating instant communication. In addition to one-on-one conversations, the app also supports multiple chat rooms, allowing users to create, join, and participate in different conversations simultaneously.
- User Authentication and Authorization: The app uses Microsoft Authentication Library for .NET and Azure Active Directory B2C for a robust, secure, JWT-based user authentication. An Azure function is used to synchronize the user information between the local database and Azure AD B2C that is triggered via API connectors of the Azure AD B2C user flow.
- Multimedia Support Users can also send binary files such as images in addition to text messages. The app uses Azure Blob Storage to store the files and Azure CDN to for a rapid content delivering.
- Standalone front-end demo The app also provides a standalone front-end demo that can be used to test the user interfaces. The demo uses Mock Service Worker to mock REST and GraphQL responses.
