fireGroupChat

This is a basic group chat widget that built with Firebase. It shows an example of how to build a simple chat application without any server side code.

Setup

Setup a localhost server for running the index.html. If you don’t already have any server, I would suggest you to install NodeJS http-server.

##Configure Firebase

• Go to Firebase and create a new account.
• Create a new app from your firebase dashboard.
• Edit firegroupchat.js and replace <YOUR-FIREBASE-APP> with your firebase app to point to your firebase.

##Configure Facebook Authentication

• Create a new facebook application.
• Add https://auth.firebase.com/v2/<YOUR-FIREBASE-APP>/auth/facebook/callback to your Valid OAuth redirect URIs on the bottom of the Advanced tab (more info).
• Go to your firebase account, at https://<YOUR-FIREBASE>.firebaseio.com. Click Login & Auth in the left side menu. Select the Facebook tab and check the Enable Facebook Authentication.
• Paste your Facebook App Id and App Secret.
• Run the index.html with localhost
