Chat Room
A real-time chat app with user authentication, MongoDB-backed message storage, room join/leave functionality, and typing indicators for 1-on-1 messaging. Sessions are managed with Local Storage, and all schemas include proper validation.
Chat Room App
Description
The app includes a working signup page where usernames must be unique and checked against the database. Users can log in and log out with session management handled via Local Storage. MongoDB enforces proper validation on all schemas to prevent crashes. Users can join and leave chat rooms by selecting them from the sidebar. A typing indicator is implemented for one-on-one messaging. All chat messages are stored and persisted in MongoDB.
