RUST/Rocket Chatroom

YinMo19

This is a simple chatroom written in Rust/Rocket.

BASED ON

A rocket example project from the official website. I have added some features to it.

Features

1. Multiple users connect to the chatroom.
2. Auto reconnection.
3. Storage messages in Sqlite. (Use sqlx)
4. Represent the time of messages.
5. Show the ip of the sender.

TODO

• Add protection of the frontend.
• Add mobile phone UI support.
• ...

Build and run

ensure you have installed rustup and cargo. If you have rust environments getted ready, you can build and run the backend project with the following commands:

cargo build
cargo run

the default host and port is 127.0.0.1, 8000. You can change it by adding env variables:

ROCKET_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0 ROCKET_PORT=80 cargo run

After all tests passed, you can build with release. Just build with cargo build --release.

Frontend

In root directory, run npm install to install dependencies. My frontend skill is bad, sorry :(
