Hello everyone, I am Octopus Cat.
Today's open source project comes from the contributions of readers. This open source project is: Tailchat , which is a modern open source noIM application based on React + Typescript .
a brief introdction
I believe everyone has more or less known Discord/ Slacksuch a popular instant messaging application. Both have made great achievements in their respective fields.
And today I will introduce the open source alternatives of both of them, even the upgraded version - Tailchat.
concept
TailchatPosition itself as noIM( not only IM ), the biggest difference from other IM applications is that its bottom layer is composed of an open plug-in system. This design Tailchatbrings . Through the plug-in mechanism, you can modify Tailchatall aspects of itself without affecting the core code. More importantly, the plug-in mechanism gives users the right to choose. A complete set of spaces can be constructed based on core IM functions through plug-ins, which is why it is positioned noIMas . TailchatThere is a lot of room for imagination.
In addition, the plug-in mechanism is also a design that is conducive to secondary development. Great for geeks or businesses that want a high degree of customization.
Function
TailchatIn addition to the functions that most IMapps , such as group management , friends , private messages , audio and video calls , etc., there are more in-depth advanced functions such as:
Identity Group Management
custom panel
open platform
Plugin Center
Management background
Multi-platform support (web, mobile, desktop)
In addition, Tailchatthere are already more than 30 official plug-ins, large and small, and there will be more plug-ins in the future.
identity group
TailchatRBAC policy is adopted in the rights management of the system, and the combination of identity groups can have different rights. Compared with the common 管理员/成员mode , the way of identity group can well combine different rights management ways.
A simple example: Athe identity has a, btwo permissions, and Bthe identity has b, ctwo permissions, so if a user has Aand Btwo identities at the same time, then he has a, b, cthree permissions.
open platform
Like many open platforms, Tailchatbots and third-party logins are supported. Through the open platform, the external system and IM can have a good communication, and the connection between different applications can be enhanced. If a plug-in is a front-end connection that users can perceive (plug-ins also have a back-end), then an open platform is a pure back-end connection.
If you only need some simple message sending functions, some preset official plug-ins can also meet the requirements well.
Management background
In the Tailchat main application, all users are equal, that is, all functions are the same. However, students who are operating projects need stronger control and management capabilities to meet the requirements of supervision and operation and maintenance. Therefore, Tailchat also provides a background system to help users better manage their applications
technology
front end
TailchatThe front end of is based on the MiniStarimplemented microkernel architecture, MiniStarwhich is responsible for loading and module sharing between modules, and Tailchatprovides dependencies and slots to allow custom plug-ins to implement their own logic Tailchaton . This vscodeis very close to .
technology stack:
React
Redux
mini-star
tailwindcss
rear end
TailchatThe initial design is to expand the implementation. The backend is based on a distributed microservice architecture, which can be directly expanded without modification. For external service access, only need to access the network to achieve
technology stack:
Nodejs
Socket.io
too
moleculer
Need to depend on:
redis: as a forwarding and caching service middleware for background microservices
minio: object storage service middleware as a file service
mongo: main database to store user data
