Chat Room

Example project demonstrating real-time messaging and actor state management.

Getting Started

git clone https://github.com/rivet-dev/rivet.git
cd rivet/examples/chat-room
npm install
npm run dev

Real-time messaging: Broadcast messages to all connected clients instantly
Persistent chat history: Messages automatically saved in actor state across restarts
Multiple chat rooms: Each room is a separate actor instance with isolated state
Event-driven architecture: Use actor events to push updates to clients in real-time
