Getting started (local)

1. Copy .env.example to .env.local (create one if missing) and set:

MONGODB_URI=mongodb+srv://<user>:<pass>@<cluster>/<db>?retryWrites=true&w=majority
NEXTAUTH_SECRET=your-long-random-secret
NEXTAUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000
DAILY_API_KEY=your-daily-api-key
DAILY_DOMAIN=your-subdomain.daily.co

2. Install deps and run dev server

npm install
npm run dev

App runs at http://localhost:3000.

Useful scripts

# development
npm run dev

# typecheck + lint + production build
npm run build

# start production server (after build)
npm run start

Notes

• Registration happens via POST /api/auth/register and stores a hashed password in users.
• Login uses NextAuth Credentials at /auth/login.
• Friends and Sessions APIs are backed by MongoDB.
• Settings page includes a Logout button that redirects to /.

Chat & Realtime

• Chat messages are stored in messages (MongoDB). New messages set read_at: null for the recipient.
• Unread counts endpoint: GET /api/chat/unread-counts returns per‑friend counts.
• Mark as read: POST /api/chat/[friendId]/read marks messages from that friend as read.
• Realtime transport uses SSE:
  • Per‑conversation events: GET /api/chat/[friendId]/events
  • Per‑user unread events: GET /api/chat/events
• Chat UI (app/(product)/components/FriendChat.tsx):
  • Compose text or send session requests (datetime, duration, message)
  • Accept/decline incoming requests with optional message; delete your own pending requests
  • Realtime updates via EventSource; unread counts update in friends list

Session Requests

• Create: POST /api/session-requests with { to_user_id, start, durationMin, message? }
• List: GET /api/session-requests?type=incoming|outgoing&status=...
• Respond: POST /api/session-requests/[id] with { action: 'accept'|'decline', message? }
  • Accept creates a session with both users
• Delete (requester only, pending): DELETE /api/session-requests/[id]

Video Calls (Daily.co)

• Session calls use Daily prebuilt rooms and meeting tokens.
• Required server env vars:
  • DAILY_API_KEY (server-only secret; never expose in client code)
  • DAILY_DOMAIN (for example refocus.daily.co)
• Get a free Daily account and API key at daily.co.

Deploy

Deploy to Vercel or your platform of choice. Ensure env vars above are set in the hosting environment.
