SvelteKit Chat App

A simple chat app made with SvelteKit, Lucia, Socket.io and better-sqlite3

Setup

• Create a database.db file in /database directory, then run the setup.sql script.
• Create a /database/attachments directory.
• Add your .cert and .key in /chat-app-v2/cert (or change the vite config to disable https)

Features

• Real-time messaging using WebSockets
• Accounts
• Profile pictures
• DMs
• Attachments
• Group chats
• Group chat admins
• Nicknames

TODO:

• Optimize
• Rate limiting using redis
• Message reactions
• Blocking users
• Loading more chats in the left panel

Notes

• When running in preview mode, you'll get an error that says that SvelteKit couldn't resolve an url ("/api/attachments"), it's caused by using node's fetch instead of SvelteKit's. To fix it, implement a work-around using form actions or do some other shenanigans idk. Too lazy to fix it. The app works 100% in dev though.
• To run the app in preview mode, change the cors origin url in the chat-server/src/index.ts file to match the preview's server port.

The app is fully functional, I probably won't finish the todo list bc I got bored
