Raw

ChatIn

Description

A chat system with an admin and users that communicate with the admin. The admin has a special namespace where they can see all active users that want to chat as well as "tabs" where the communication with unique users happens. A MongoDB database is used to persist the messages in each chat room in case of a reload/disconnect event.
