# talkhouse
WebRTC based peer to peer video calling and messaging web app build with MERN stack.
# [Demo](https://talkhouse-tv.netlify.app/)
# Libraries used
- **`React`** for frontend
- **`Socket.io`** as signaling server and realtime communication
- **`simple-peer`** for peer-to-peer WebRTC connections
- **`Express`** as server
- **`MongoDB`** for persistance of data
- **`Material UI`** for creating ui
- **`Redux`** for state management
- **`Typescript`** for type safety, cure for headache you get when props are flowing all over the app with no hint
# Features
* User authentication and authorization
* Audio and Video Chat
* Messaging with storage of messages in the database
* Sending invitation to friends
* Able to accept or reject an invitation
* Online indicator
* Notify on typing
* Sceen sharing
* Accept and reject an incoming call
**and more....**
## New Features added recently:
* **`Group Chats`** Create group chats like in whats'app. Group Admins can add members to group and participants can leave the group.
* Remove friend, ability to unfriend someone
* **`Talkhouse Spaces`** like Twitter spaces. You can host a space and any of your friends can join that space.
The **talkhouse spaces** are implemented using MESH topology to establish a peer-to-peer network between every person or client joining the space.
i.e, every person maintains a p2p connection with every other person in the room.
# Installation
1. Clone project
```
git clone [email protected]:saalikmubeen/talkhouse.git
```
## Manual
If you dont't have docker installed, or don't know how to docker, [who doesn't know docker in the first place 😑]
cd into root project
```
1. cd server
```
`npm install` to to install server dependencies
`Setup required environment variables:`
- MONGO_URI_DEV
- JWT_SECRET
`npm run dev` to start development server with nodemon
*Make sure you have mongoDB installed*
```
1. cd client
```
`npm install` installs client dependencies.
`npm run start` to start the react development server.
## Docker
Running project through docker is recommended. You don't have to do any setup. Just one docker-compose command and boom project is up and running 😊
```
docker-compose up --build
```
*Make sure you have docker installed*
# TODOS
- [x] Enable group video and messaging functionality
- [ ] Implement confirm email, reset password and email sending on friend invitation, *Not a big deal to implement, just a little lazy to implement it*
- [ ] Store messages in an encrypted form in the database. (Just wrote it for fun. I mean is it even worth to do it 🤦♂️)
- [x] Enhace the UI. I hate CSS, not that good at it 🥱😓 . (Looks reasonably good now)
