Horizon-chat

Chat application using rethinkdb, socket.io, express, reactjs

This app uses full features of rethinkdb to get notified about database change. Horizon.io was on the original roadmap, but it had problem with watching joined queries, and we are using socket.io for clinet-server communication.

Gulp is used as task runner, and webpack is used for building the application.

Major gulp tasks

• default - build the application in .build Folder
• dev - run the application in dev mode with nodemon, and watching resources
• download-localisations download i18n translations from onesky

Main Dependency

• React.js
• Redux
• react-i18next
• passport.js
• rethinkdb - rethinkdb driver
• thinky - node.js ORM for rethinkdb
• socket.io

Contribution

The library is written in ES6. We require flow types to be used to clarify better about each variable.
