Project Description
This project aims to develop a chat application using React Native, Redux, Firebase, and the Socket.IO library. We’ll use React Native components, including React hooks, Redux, Firebase authentication, and the Firestore database to develop the chat application.
The chat application will allow users to engage in one-on-one conversations with other users in real time. The users will also be able to see the online status of other users. Moreover, typing indicators within the chat interface will also be visible to the users. Furthermore, the chat application will allow users to clear or delete a particular chat. Lastly, the users can see the list of users they’ve previously conversed with. Additionally, the application will maintain and persist the users’ chat history.
After completing this project, we will gain proficiency in React Native application development and enhance our ability to create interactive chat applications.
