How to build a Chat App with Django Channels and WebSockets in 2 Hours

🚀 Learn how to build a real-time chat application using Django, WebSocket, and the Daphne server! In this tutorial, we'll walk you through creating a chat app from scratch, featuring a sleek login screen where users can enter their username and the room they want to join.

Once logged in, users are taken to the chat screen, where messages are sent and received in real-time using WebSocket connections. This allows multiple users to chat simultaneously, making it perfect for group discussions, team collaborations, or just chatting with friends.

This was the worst lecture with the best teaching on Django Chat App 😂. If you had prepared a little, I’m sure this would have been the best one. So, don’t take my comment negatively-cuz I’m still giving you kudos for making it so easy. If I had found your video 3 days ago, I could’ve saved at least 24 hours of my time figuring out this chat app thing cuz I followed another YouTuber’s video which was not only complicated but also that didn’t work for me as he used HTMX bases code and it never triggered a websocket connection. Anyway, can you tell me why you added “room_” in front of the scope in your connect method in ChatConsumer class? Not only I couldn’t figure out why you did that, I also found that it works just fine without that part.

Can you give me the home.html and room.html files? Thank you.

Awesome tutorial, but how do I make it strictly a one to one chat like WhatsApp with a name you click on to initiate a chat, most of the videos I've seen seem to always create group chats
