# Welcome to Chat Rooms Rails 6 by TANHONGIT
Complete the chat room application implementation using Ruby on Rails 6 and WebSockets.
# What are WebSockets
WebSocket is actually a protocol that enables bidirectional communication between the client and the server of a web application over a single long living TCP connection.
# Building the application
We are going to build the web application using:
- Ruby: version ruby 2.7.1
- Rails: version 6.0.3.2
# DEMO Chat Room Application
# Runing
### 1. Clone Repo
```
$ git clone https://github.com/TanHongIT/chat_room_rails_6
$ cd chat_room_rails_6
```
### 2. Bundle Install
```
$ bundle install
```
### 3. Yarn Install
```
$ yarn install
```
### 4. Create database with Postgresql
You must change the appropriate database configuration
Change configuration at _"config/database.yml"_ with Postgresql.
```ruby
default: &default
adapter: postgresql
pool: <%= ENV.fetch("RAILS_MAX_THREADS") { 5 } %>
timeout: 5000
username: chat_room_rails_6
password: 1234
host: localhost
# tutorial for ubuntu linux:
# sudo -u postgres psql
# create user "chat_room_rails_6" with password '1234';
# create database "chat_room_rails_6" owner "chat_room_rails_6";
development:
<<: *default
database: chat_room_rails_6
# Warning: The database defined as "test" will be erased and
# re-generated from your development database when you run "rake".
# Do not set this db to the same as development or production.
test:
<<: *default
database: chat_room_rails_6_test
production:
<<: *default
database: chat_room_rails_6_production
```
You must change the username, password and database name accordingly!
### 5. run rails db:migrate
```
$ rails db:migrate
```
### 6. Install redis
We are going to use the redis adapter which is a safe option for production environments unlike the async one.
You first must install [redis](https://redis.io/) on your system.
To install it on Ubuntu you just have to execute the following commands in your terminal:
```
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install redis-server
```
--------------------------------------------------------------------
- Install redis for Windows 8.1 and previous versions. Go to https://redislabs.com/blog/redis-on-windows-8-1-and-previous-versions/
- Install redis for Windows 10: https://redislabs.com/blog/redis-on-windows-10/
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Now open terminal and run:
```
redis-server
```
To check that installation is successful, in your terminal make sure you get a PONG:
```
$ redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> ping
PONG
```
### 7. run server
```
$ rails s
```
And now go to http://localhost:3000/
