These days realtime chat is a basic feature of any app. I also wanted to develop one for my app. I went through a lot of blogs and tutorials but most of them talked about creating a community chat system that anyone can join and start sending the messages. I wanted something in which I can create rooms as well. So here I’m sharing how I developed it.
