Live support chat server
Node/Express/SocketIO project to provide the back-end for a customer support live chat system.
Supports multiple simultaneous customer clients communicating with a single staff client. The staff client can respond to any of the active customer clients.
Status
This project is an early prototype. It is currently lacking auth for the non-public side and persistant storage of all messages.
There are minimal staff and customer clients are served from /staff and /client respectively.
Future plans
This will be incorporated into a staff dashboard behind google gsuite oauth2. The dashboard will also be able to view any previous conversations.
Install
-
git clone *repo_url* -
npm install -
npm start
Inspiration
This code is adapted from the chat example from the socket.IO docs.
