Research Pusher Chatkit #83

Closed chakeresa closed 5 years ago

chakeresa commented 5 years ago

Initial questions:

Implement entirely on front end, or add GraphQL endpoints for everything?
How to do auth?
Can front end use a package to display chats, list messages for a user, etc

chakeresa commented 5 years ago

Things we should do on the back end (see https://pusher.com/docs/chatkit/reference/server-ruby, https://github.com/pusher/chatkit-server-ruby/tree/master/examples):

create chatkit users (upon signup. Also check when creating a room?)
create rooms between users (just name them 3-7 if the chat is between users with ids 3 and 7 (in order of lowest to highest)
generate JWT tokens (see https://pusher.com/docs/chatkit/authentication, https://jwt.io/introduction/)

Requests they should be able to do client-side (see https://pusher.com/docs/chatkit/quick_start/javascript):

get all rooms for the current user
get messages for a particular room
send a message to a particular room

Permissions we should set globally for a default user (for client side requests), see https://pusher.com/docs/chatkit/roles-and-permissions:

message:create user can add messages to any room (that they're a member of)
