Project Structure

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

• npm run dev: Starts the development server.
• npm run build: Builds the app for production.
• npm run lint: Runs ESLint to check for linting errors.

Configuration

Firebase

Ensure you have a Firebase project set up.

// src/lib/firebase.js

import { initializeApp } from 'firebase/app';
import { getFirestore } from 'firebase/firestore';

const firebaseConfig = {
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
  authDomain: "YOUR_AUTH_DOMAIN",
  projectId: "YOUR_PROJECT_ID",
  storageBucket: "YOUR_STORAGE_BUCKET",
  messagingSenderId: "YOUR_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID",
  appId: "YOUR_APP_ID"
};

const app = initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
const db = getFirestore(app);

export { db };

Zustand

State management is handled by Zustand. A sample store might look like this:

// src/lib/chatStore.js

import create from 'zustand';

const useChatStore = create(set => ({
  messages: [],
  addMessage: (message) => set(state => ({ messages: [...state.messages, message] })),
}));

export default useChatStore;

Toastify

For notifications, Toastify can be used as follows:

// Example usage in a component
import { toast } from 'react-toastify';
import 'react-toastify/dist/ReactToastify.css';

toast.success("Message sent!");
