• Start Command docker-compose up
• Sometimes the package-lock.json can cause issues, then just delete it and let docker do everything

Overview of the Series

This Series is about implementing a Realtime Chat with Websockets (here we used Socket.io v4). The Main features are:

• Register a new User
• Login with a user and get a valid jwt Token for Auth (API & Websocket)
• Create a Chatroom and add other users by their username
• Join one of your chatrooms and see the latest messages
• Add a message to the chatroom, this will be emmitted immediately to all other joined Users for this Room that are currently online

The NestJS API is build with NestJS 8, because v8 has support for the latest socket.io Release v4.
