Real-time Chat

Build a real-time chat app with React Native and InstantDB

Quickstart

Clone the repo and install dependencies:

# Clone repo
git clone https://github.com/betomoedano/instant-realtime-chat

# Navigate into the project
cd instant-realtime-chat

# Install dependencies
npm install

If you haven't already, be sure to log into the Instant CLI

npx instant-cli login

Now let's initialize a new app with the Instant CLI.

npx instant-cli init

We've provided a schema in instant.schema.ts that you can push to your app. You may have already pushed this during init in the previous step. If you answered 'no' to the prompt during init, or if you're unsure whether you pushed the schema, you can push it now.

npx instant-cli push

Finally, run the development server:

npm run start
