Overview

How Ghosty works - technical details

Ghosty app is built using socket.io for real-time communication between wallet-to-wallet.

Socket.IO is an event-driven library for real-time web applications. It enables real-time, bi-directional communication between web clients and servers.

Ghosty App Flow:

1. The user will be directed to the NEAR wallet for the login authentication process --> At this stage Ghosty will store address data in the form of the accountId property into MongoDB which is obtained from the NEAR login authentication process.

2. When successfully logged in, the user will be immediately directed to the chat page --> The chat page in question is the CHAT ROOM INTERFACE

3. User adds the user address in the Add Address modal --> In this process the user will search for the NEAR user address by calling nodeUrl with the following property: jsonrpc: '2.0', id: 'dontcare', method: 'query', params: { request_type: 'view_account', finality: 'final', account_id: <wallet_address>, } if the value sent is the same and the user adds it, the accountId will be post to database alias: <accountId>

4. In this process the user can send a message in the form of text, images, and also emojis that have been provided by Ghosty. --> All these processes are done with the help of socket.io for real-time wallet-to-wallet communication.
