Quick Start

####Database

1. Start MongoDB
2. Create telebot database (use telebot)
3. Create chats collection (db.createCollection(chats))

All set here.

MongoDB connection settings: /back/config.js

####Server Start 2 services in NodeJs:

• Front: /src/front/index.js (port: 3001)
• Back: /src/back/index.js (port: 3000)

####Application

1. Access http://localhost:3001

2. Do login by e-mail or SMS

   Since the login needs a HTTPS connection, you may use a tunneler (like ngrok). If you use a tunneler, you will have to setup a Facebook Account Kit application and configure it here in front/views/authentication/config.js However, the Websocket uses a HTTP connection and, therefore, won't work with the HTTPS. Said that, you may try authentication, but to use the app you may enter the page directly.

   In fact, loggin isn't implemented right 
   (there is no real authentication process)
   

3. Enter http://localhost:3001/chatRoom

   HTTP Websocket and HTTP connection

4. Start a connection with the Bot in Telegram

5. Talk
