PHP Chat

In order to gain experience with API development and some concepts like interactivity, designing a responsive UI, and so on, i made a PHP chat with a backend based on a PHP API to manage authentication and messages, coupled with a MariaDB database.
On the other hand, the front-end is entirely handled by JavaScript with AJAX requests, and by Bootstrap + Vanilla CSS for the CSS part.

Login

As you may noticed, the validation is done with AJAX, so it’s dynamic.

Chat

The <form> is directly posted to the API. However, the update and delete fonctionnalities are done in JavaScript with AJAX requests.

Settings page

The validation of the entered password is also done with AJAX requests.

Source

The source code and installation instructions are accessible here

You’ll also find a docker-compose file there if you want to test the application locally.
