Setup Chatvia Angular 18

Introduction

Chatvia is a featured premium chat app in Angular 18 with Firebase/Fack-backend authentication and developer-friendly codes.

Note: You need to fill firebase credentials in src/environments/environment.ts and src/environments/environment.prod.ts file.
You have to create an authentication app from https://firebase.google.com
Firebase

Set defaultauth=firebase in the src/environments/environment.ts file.
Also fill all the firebase credentials in the src/environments/environment.ts file. 

export const environment = {
    production: false,
    defaultauth: 'firebase', // set this and below credentials
    firebaseConfig: {
        apiKey: '',
        authDomain: '',
        databaseURL: '',
        projectId: '',
        storageBucket: '',
        messagingSenderId: '',
        appId: '',
        measurementId: ''
    }
};
Fack-Backend

Default we have set fack-backend authentication in this template. You can simply change to firebase or fack-backend by changing in src/environments/environments.ts file and for production src/environments/environments.prod.ts file.

Multilingual translation settings

How to add new language?
Let's add French language in the existing language.

  1. Create fr.json file with reference to default language file and add it to src/assets/i18n folder.
  2. Go to app.component.ts file and add i18n language short form "fr" to languages array.
    export class AppComponent {
      constructor(public translate: TranslateService) {
        translate.addLangs(['en', 'es', 'it', 'ru', 'de', "fr"]);
      }
    }
  3. In topbar.component.ts add new language properties in listLang array and make sure to add flag image in the assets folder.
    listLang = [
    { text: 'English', flag: 'assets/images/flags/us.jpg', lang: 'en' },
    { text: 'Spanish', flag: 'assets/images/flags/spain.jpg', lang: 'es' },
    { text: 'German', flag: 'assets/images/flags/germany.jpg', lang: 'de' },
    { text: 'Italian', flag: 'assets/images/flags/italy.jpg', lang: 'it' },
    { text: 'Russian', flag: 'assets/images/flags/russia.jpg', lang: 'ru' },
    { text: 'French', flag: 'assets/images/flags/french.jpg', lang: 'fr' },
    ];

Tips

SCSS: We suggest you to do not change any scss files from the src/assets/scss/custom folders because to get new updates will might be break your SCSS changes if any you have made. We strongly suggest you to use custom.scss file and use that instead of overwrite any theme's custom scss files.
