EloiD-R / Frorum

A chat, first in C and in CLI and one day in elixir (web and web app)

Archi

Archi-global :

Chat will be anonymous so no need to manage accounts headers : #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <arpa/inet.h> #include <sys/socket.h>

Archi-réseau :

• Serv : (localhost puis rpi)
• client : (+server)
• msg en json server send a messages he receives from a client to everyone (so chat is temporary), if you quit and join back you will not have the ancient messages

Archi-tree :

• chat:
  • client

    • front

      • CLI.c
      • CLI.h

    • back

TODO :

// I made the TODO-LIST at a moment where i was already working on the project for a little moment, so it does not contain all the steps

• make client able to receive message(s) and display them
• remake architecture (make code look good and be in functions)
• client
• server
• manage logs in a better way
• remake architecture (again) but in a really better way now i have more code
• add a ping thing
• recode getMessage function in a better way
• make server resending what he receives
• make server able to receive more than one connection
• make server treating information to remove bad words for example
• host server on my rpi
• we'll see this later when i'll be moving from Frorum ultra light to Frorum Light
