# FreeWebChat

![screenshot](screenshot.png)

FreeWebChat has a backend developed in PHP7+MySQL that exposes REST APIs to the frontend written using JQuery (Ajax) and HTML5.

The database access is performed through [PDO](https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.pdo.php).

The project focuses on a one-to-one chat, however it should be easy to implement chat rooms.

This chat can be easily integrated in existing web applications.

Thus, the source code doesn't include user login and register pages.

The chat should be configured to use the users managed by your web app (see `config.php` and `js/chat.js`).

Features:

*  Message read/unread mark

*  (near)Real Time (ajax polling)

*  Photo Upload

*  Emoji

*  Smartphone/Tablet support (dynamic resize)

*  Multiple themes

*  Chat history panel

*  Show status (online/offline) for contacts in the chat history

*  Block/Unblock users

*  Multiple language support (english, italian)

*  Chat and relative messages deletion

*  Bad words filter

*  Compress and resize uploaded images

*  Highlight other chats with unread messages

# Backend API

*  `getChatCount`: Returns the total number of open chats of the current user

*  `didIBlock(dstuid)`: Returns a boolean value (JSON encoded) that is true if the current user has blocked the user with id equal to dstuid otherwise returns false
