Postgres-chat

A humble implementation of stateless chat using NOTIFY and LISTEN functions of Postgres

This is a command-line chat application built using Rust and Postgres builtin function. It allows users to send and receive messages in a chat room.

Development

To install this application, you will need Rust and Cargo installed on your machine. Then, update the DATABASE_URL in the .env file and run the following command:

 git clone https://github.com/guibeira/postgres-chat.git
 cd postgres-chat
 cargo run

Usage

To start the chat, run the following command:

pg-chat --channel-name <channel_name> --username <username>

Replace <channel_name> and with your desired channel name and username.

Once the chat has started, you can send messages by typing them into the command prompt and pressing enter. You will receive messages from other users in real-time.

To exit the chat, press Ctrl-C.
