Chat Application in Django

[vijay naudiyal]

Hi All,

I am a rookie and Django and trying to make chat application.

I want users to be able to send messages to each other in real-time.

I also want to create the chat rooms and provide permissions to users.

What is the best way to do it ? I have gone through some packages and blogs on this but still not sure what is the right way to do it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Have a nice day.

Regards

Vijay

Channels is probably the currently recommended approach:

https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorial/index.html

[Kasper Laudrup]

While creating a chat application with the help of Django in one way
another is definitely possible, it might help to remember that Django is
first and foremost a web development framework.

The "web" or HTTP is inherently using the client/server model meaning, a
client sends a requests and the server provides a response. That is of
course extremely simplified, but it does mean that creating a real time
chat application doesn't fit very well into this paradigm.

In order to do something like this most of the work most likely needs to
be done using javascript with either some polling or (better) using
websockets.

My point is, that if you're a rookie and want to learn Django, a real
time chat application is probably not the best choice as a starting point.

Something like a forum with more "static" messages would be a much
better challenge as you can spend most of your time learning Django
without dealing with thirdparty packages, client side javascript and such.

You would still have a great opertunity to learn about user permissions,
database models etc. which Django does extremely well.

If on the other hand you want to get your hands dirty with creating a
real time chat application that works in a browser, I could imagine
Django more or less just getting in the way and causing confusion and
you might be better of looking at client side frameworks.

That's just my opinion of course and happy to be corrected, but I hope
that does help you somewhat.

Good luck no matter what.

Kind regards,

Kasper Laudrup

If you don't understand how something works, in this case either a forum
like this one, the English language or basic human interaction, then
there's nothing wrong in asking for clarification.

Confirming that you lack this basic understanding like you're doing now,
just confirms other peoples initial impression that you might simply be
an idiot or a troll.

Guys,

Pls no personal attacks. Lets keep the thread meaningful.

i am really a rookie in this, started Django as a hobby during the Covid times, but i am glad i have been consistent in my learning and have been continuously working on projects that matters to me. if people are interested we can connect together, that will surely speed up our learning.

Of my little research i have found channels and some Django packages are a good way. I am starting with Django Private Chat package, i will be trying the channels approach after this.

if someone is interested to collaborate they can connect to me at vijaynau...@gmail.com

Have a good day.

Vijay

Could you give me some hosting name where I may test (free) my django project. My database is MySql. In PythonAnywhere they accepts only one app (already I've one) and Heroku only run with Postgresql.

Thanks,

I don't hope you feel attacked by me in any way, that has certainly not
been my intention.

It was hard to tell from your initial post what your level of experience
was. My point was that a chat application with channels is probably not
very good for a first Django project, but it seems like you have plenty
of experience already for experimenting with developing a project like this.

Good to hear you are spending these times on something meaningful and
constructive. Best of luck with your chat project. Hope you'll consider
sharing it once you feel like you have something to share.

Kind regards,

Kasper Laudrup

Ps. Sorry for my previous half written message. I hit the wrong keys by
accident :-(

[vijay naudiyal]

Hi Kasper,

Sure I am not offended and thank you for asking that. I will be glad to share the project once completed.

Regards

Vijay
