Chat app using Next.js, Socket.io, Node.js

This is the complete Source Code for the chat app built using Next.js, Socket.io, Node.js, Firebase, Tailwind CSS, Prisma, PostgresSQL, and many more awesome technologies with Voice Call and Video Call Functionality.

Installation

Setup Client

  cd client
  yarn

Setup Server

  cd server
  yarn
  npx prisma init
  npx prisma generate

Now add environment variables in the server's .env file

    PORT=3005
    DATABASE_URL=<postgres databse url>
    ZEGO_APP_ID=<ZEGO_APP_ID>
    ZEGO_APP_SECRET="<ZEGO_APP_SECRET>"

In the DATABASE_URL you can add any databse url.

Now for the Video Call and Voice Call I have used Zegocloud's Voice Call and Video Call Services.

Head over to https://www.zegocloud.com and create a new project and get the App Id and App Secret.

Now after this add the environment variables in the next.config.js file.

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  env: {
    NEXT_PUBLIC_ZEGO_APP_ID: <ZEGOCLOUD_APP_ID>,
    NEXT_PUBLIC_ZEGO_SERVER_ID: "<ZEGOCLOUD_SERVER_ID>",
  },
  reactStrictMode: false,
  images: {
    domains: ["localhost"],
  },
};

module.exports = nextConfig;
