Medplum Chat Demo

A starter application for using the Medplum platform.

This example app demonstrates the following:

• Creating a new React app with Vite and TypeScript to demonstrate Communication-based workflows.
• A threaded Communication model.
• Creating thread-level and message-level Communication resources.
• Sending and replying to messages.
• Realtime communication via WebSockets.
• Adding new participants to existing threads.
• Editing thread topics and categories.

Code Organization

This repo is organized into two main directories: src and data.

The src directory contains the app, including a pages and components directory. In addition, it contains a bots directory, which has Medplum Bots for use.

The data directory contains data that can be uploaded for use in the demo. The example directory contains data that is meant to be used for testing and learning, while the core directory contains resources, terminologies, and more that are necessary to use the demo.
