The Chat App is a very simple chat back-end application implemented with Ruby-on-Rails. It does not include an authorization/authentication module, and has no user interface.
The Chat App exposes the following APIs:
| Action | Path | Description |
|---|---|---|
| POST | /api/messages | Send a new message |
| GET | /api/messages/summary?to=<receiver_id> | Get message summary |
| GET | /api/messages/unread?from=<sender_id>&to=<receiver_id> | Get unread messages |
Note: the Chat App is built into a Docker image and pushed to Docker Hub:
