I have a Firechat implementation that initializes properly but when logged in you can create and enter rooms but the messages go nowhere. I've built functions to handle the sending of messages but I don't think it's connecting the FirechatUI and Firechat objects correctly to the Firebase database.
function initChat(user) {
var room = '';
var db = firebase.database().ref("chat");
var chat = new FirechatUI(db, document.getElementById('firechat'));
var api = chat._chat;
console.log(api);
api.setUser(user.uid, user.displayName, function(user) {
api.resumeSession();
});
chat.setUser(user.uid, user.displayName, function(user) {
chat.resumeSession();
});
api.on('message-add', function(messagedRoom, messageContent) {
console.log('Sent message to room: '+messagedRoom.id+' with the content "'+messageContent+'"');
api.sendMessage(messagedRoom.id, messageContent, 'default');
});
api.on('room-enter', function(enteredRoom) {
api.enterRoom(enteredRoom.id);
room = enteredRoom.id;
});
api.on('room-exit', function(exitedRoom) {
api.leaveRoom(exitedRoom.id);
room = '';
});
isInitialized = true;
}
The "message-add" event never gets triggered but the "room-enter" and "room-exit" events do.
You have to create a new Firechat object with
var api = new Firechat(db);
also,user does not appear to be defined, you should use var user = firebase.auth().currentUser;
