Real-Time Chat Forum

A modern, real-time chat application built with Next.js, TypeScript, and Supabase. This project demonstrates the implementation of a live chat forum with user authentication, real-time message updates, and profanity filtering.

Features

• Real-time messaging using Supabase's real-time subscriptions
• User authentication and session management
• Profanity filtering for maintaining a friendly chat environment
• Responsive UI design using custom components
• Avatar support for users
• Efficient message rendering with virtualized scrolling

Technologies Used

• Next.js - React framework for building server-side rendered and static web applications
• TypeScript - Typed superset of JavaScript
• Supabase - Open-source Firebase alternative for backend services
• bad-words - JavaScript filter for bad words
• Custom UI components (likely using a component library or custom-built)

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/your-username/real-time-chat-forum.git

2. Install dependencies: cd real-time-chat-forum npm install

3. Set up your Supabase project and add the necessary environment variables to a .env.local file: NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=your-supabase-url NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your-supabase-anon-key

4. Run the development server: npm run dev

5. Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

Code Examples

Real-time Message Subscription

useEffect(() => {
fetchMessages()
const messagesSubscription = supabase
 .channel('public:messages')
 .on('postgres_changes', { event: 'INSERT', schema: 'public', table: 'messages' }, payload => {
   setMessages(prevMessages => [...prevMessages, payload.new as Message])
 })
 .subscribe()

return () => {
 messagesSubscription.unsubscribe()
}
}, [supabase, fetchMessages])

This is a [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) project bootstrapped with [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app).

## Getting Started

First, run the development server:

```bash
npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
# or
bun dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

This project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load Inter, a custom Google Font.
