Hi...I'm new to Ruby on Rails and working on product development. I need to implement chat application for all registered users.It should work like facebook chat or gmail chat.How to develop it using rails 4? Is there any code or plug-in's available for this task?I don't have any idea how to do it.

Any help will appreciate

Thanks

Try this: http://www.opensourcerails.com/kandan/

Otherwise, I don't think there is plug and play solution for your case. You need to use few gems, but the business logic is always different.

Good luck.

(also related to the other thread about websockets)

Last time I did this using two server apps: 1) a Rails app with all my business logic, and 2) a Faye server (actually a Sinatra app) whose job is only to do the pub/sub part. The client connects to the Faye server and the Faye server can send messages directly to the client via websockets. 

When someone writes a chat message, it goes through the Rails app, and then the Rails app sends a message to the Faye server telling the Faye server to publish the chat message.

This was the most effective solution I found but I'm sure there are different architectures. 

check out...

Our platform (SightCall) provides realtime services like text chat, video/audio and data messages.  We have a nice Ruby-on-Rails demo of a group collaboration tool.  You could use this as a starting point to embed these functions into your own web site.
