Abstract

This report details the development and functionalities of a messaging application with deep integration between backend and frontend.

Purpose: The purpose of this report is to give a deep overview of the messaging application, including how the backend server, frontend user interface, authentication mechanisms, and messaging functionalities were configured.

Backend Overview:

● Uses Express.js for server setup.
● It implements JWT for user authentication and authorization.
● User-uploaded images are stored on AWS S3.
● Some key features will include user registration, login, image upload, updating a profile, and blocking or unblocking a user.
● A detailed API documentation of endpoints such as /send image, /user/block/, /user/unblock/, and /contacts/get-contacts.

Frontend Overview

● Built in React Native and seamlessly integrated with the backend APIs.
● Provides screens for user registration, login, profile management, and messaging.
● Makes navigation using React Navigation and theming with React Native Paper possible.
● It offers contact management, real-time messaging with the help of WebSocket, and image handling.

Conclusions:

The messaging application is a good comprehensive solution to cover the key functions that are required for a modern communication platform. It comes with detailed API and frontend documentation, which means it can be developed and maintained in the future with ease.
