Installation

You need node,npm and bower installed globally:

- Step1: Clone ChatRoom repository locally
- Step2: cd into cloned directory <Ex : ChatRoom/> 
- Step3: install dependencies using commands 
$ sudo npm install
$ bower install
- Step4: cd into <your_app_directory/public/app/js/> and edit app.js 
  set $rootScope.baseUrl to <http://your_ip_address:8282>
  set $socketProvider.setConnectionUrl('http://your_ip_address:8282')
- Step5: run project using node app.js in terminal  
- Step6: go to your browser and enter url <http://your_ip_address:8282>

File shared among users will be stored in /public/app/upload in respective doc, music and image directory. The files in upload directory are stored with some expiry time (8 hours), the files will be deleted after expiry time. The routine_cleanup function deletes files after every one hour.

you can change the file expiry time by changing variable expiryTime and routine cleanup time by changing variable routineTime in app.js.

ChatRoom uses a number of open source projects to work properly:

  • [AngularJS] - HTML enhanced for web apps!
  • [Bootstrap] - great UI boilerplate for modern web apps
  • [AdminLTE] - great UI based on bootstrap
  • [node.js] - evented I/O for the backend
  • [Express] - fast node.js network app framework
  • [jQuery] - javascript library
  • [lightbox] - javascript plugin for image pop-ups

Get Source

And of course ChatRoom itself is open source with a public repository on GitHub.

Testimonials

"Coming from a non-technical background, Saurabh and his team at Systenics took my business idea and turned it into a fully functional application which surpassed my expectations! You can be sure with them that all your IT related concerns will be covered."

Shobhan, CEO - IITJobs Inc

"The ability Systenics showed in code signing and deploying my click once code in Microsoft visual was truly awesome. I interviewed and tested 6 different development companies and only one was actually able to get the job done - that was Systenics Solutions! Professional, courteous and reliable - I highly recommend them and am very happy and eager to continue growing our business relationship now and in the near future. Thank you Saurabh"

Andre Pierre

I contracted with Systenics about 6 months ago, in an effort to customize auction software for a new company I am launching in the US. The entire process was as smooth as could be. Their estimate for the project was reasonable, and very close to the final number. I would absolutely use this company again, and I have so much confidence in their ability to work with me, I even agreed to a support agreement with them long term. Their ability to communicate with me in the US was always very timely. They listened to my thoughts and ideas, and then suggested some changes, that made my software have even greater value. I cannot thank them enough, and would highly suggest their quality services to anyone. A completely satisfied customer!

Joe Lefebvre - Pharmabid, LLC
