Building a Voice Chat App Using React and the Agora SDK
Manitej Pratha, a student developer and ReactJS enthusiast, provides a tutorial on building an audio streaming app similar to Clubhouse using React, Firebase, Agora SDK, and Geist UI. The tech stack includes React for the front end, Firebase for the database, Agora SDK for server functions, and Geist UI for styling. Prerequisites include an empty React project set up, a Firebase project, and an Agora developer account. The app's folder structure consists of a root file with imported react-router components and three routes: login page, show all rooms route, and join room page. Users can create accounts using Firebase's Google OAuth authentication, view public rooms, and join them after logging in. Protected routes ensure only logged-in users can access certain parts of the app. The Auth context is used as a global store for user info, while the login component uses Firebase Google login for user authentication. The Rooms component displays all rooms from the database, allowing users to create new rooms or join existing ones. Testing the final project involves creating and joining rooms in different browsers, with Agora handling back-end functions and providing 10,000 free minutes per month.
