Build a Simple Chat Room App in React with Laravel Breeze and Twilio's Conversations API
A developer created a simple chat room app using React, Laravel Breeze, and Twilio's Conversations API. The app allows users to join conversations via SMS or username and send messages. The backend is built using Laravel 8 with the Inertia package, and the frontend is built using React. The app uses Twilio's Conversations API to create multi-party chats where participants can use chat, SMS, MMS, and WhatsApp to create messages. The developer used Laravel Mix to compile assets and PostCSS to add styles to the application. The app also includes a mechanism to fetch messages every three seconds and clean up once the component unmounts.
