Chat
----

Multi-rooms chat service.

Chat is organized into "rooms". Each room has a type and a list of players allowed to participate.

Relations
---------

* "AuthDB" (Redis) -> to check authentication status of user making requests
* see https://github.com/j3k0/node-authdb
* "ChatDB" (Redis) -> store rooms messages
* Notification service -> notify users when a chat message was added to a room
* see https://github.com/j3k0/ganomede-notifications

Configuration
-------------

Variables available for service configuration (see [config.js](/config.js)):

* `PORT`
* `ROUTE_PREFIX`
* `API_SECRET` - Give access to private APIs
* `NODE_ENV` — Antything except `production` means that app is running in development (debug) mode
* `MAX_MESSAGES` - Max number of messages stored in a room (default 100)

Links with DBs and other services:

* `REDIS_AUTH_PORT_6379_TCP_ADDR` - IP of the AuthDB redis
* `REDIS_AUTH_PORT_6379_TCP_PORT` - Port of the AuthDB redis
* `REDIS_CHAT_PORT_6379_TCP_ADDR` - IP of the ChatDB redis
* `REDIS_CHAT_PORT_6379_TCP_PORT` - Port of the ChatDB redis
* `NOTIFICATIONS_PORT_8080_TCP_ADDR` - IP of the notifications service
* `NOTIFICATIONS_PORT_8080_TCP_PORT` - Port of the notifications service

Optional link to the usermeta database containing user policies (see policies.md)

* `REDIS_USERMETA_PORT_6379_TCP_ADDR` - IP of the UsermetaDB redis
* `REDIS_USERMETA_PORT_6379_TCP_PORT` - Port of the UsermetaDB redis
* If any of these options are missing, no ban or block check will be performed — every user account will be considered to be in good standing (no bans)

Statsd options (used for monitoring).

* `STATSD_HOST` - host that runs the statsd server
* `STATSD_PORT` - port to connect to statsd server
* `STATSD_PREFIX` - prefix for data stored in stats (default to `ganomede.chat.`)

AuthDB
------

* Contains a store "authToken" -> { "username": "someusername", ... }
* Access it using node-authdb (https://github.com/j3k0/node-authdb)

UsermetaDB
----------

Contains the policies (banned, blocked users, chat disabled, etc)

* `userA:$blocked` -> `user1,user2,user3`
* List of users that "userA" has blocked. Messages from users in this list won't be sent to "userA".
* `userA:$banned` -> timestamp
* A timestamp indicated the user is banned.
* `userA:$chatdisabled`-> `"true"`
* the string `"true"` indicates that the chat is disabled for this user (disabled by the user).
* `userA:$muted`-> `"true"`
* the string `"true"` indicates that this user cannot chat (disabled by admin).

API
---

All "room" related calls require a valid authToken, either:

* the token for one of the room participants.
* `API_SECRET`, in which case messages are posted as pseudo-user "$$"

# Rooms [/chat/v1/auth/:authToken/rooms]
