Flutter-NodeJs WebSocket real time chat app

[Πέτρος Πολλάκης]

Hello community! 

I need help to understand the logic and maybe some example will be very useful! \

I want to create and simple real time chat app with Nodejs and flutter. The simple piece of this I already created like send message to WebSocket server and get it back to all connections but my question's is: 

How can I create separate connection's per 2 users ?

The history of messages will be saved in database and probably I will get it into an array and then send it from server side to client? 

I think to achieve the second question needed the answer of the first question.

Sorry if that question's is basic but I'm newbie.

Regards!

You could use Firebase real-time Database instead of web Sockets. It works with both Node.js and Flutter. It makes work lot easier compared to Web Sockets.

Yeah I know that but I want to make it custom. If you know something (without firebase) tell me :) Thanks!

Hello,

What I would like to suggest is to think about the server as a telephone switch. Users always send message to the server and server is responsible for routing the message to the intended receivers. 

This means you will need to include receiver id, maybe chatroom id and so forth with each message so the server knows how to route the message.
