🎯 API Endpoints

REST API

GET    /wp-json/chatpulse-chat/v1/threads
GET    /wp-json/chatpulse-chat/v1/threads/{id}/messages
POST   /wp-json/chatpulse-chat/v1/threads
POST   /wp-json/chatpulse-chat/v1/threads/{id}/messages
PUT    /wp-json/chatpulse-chat/v1/messages/{id}
DELETE /wp-json/chatpulse-chat/v1/messages/{id}

Socket.IO Events

// Client → Server
socket.emit('join_thread', { thread_id: 1 });
socket.emit('send_message', { thread_id: 1, content: 'Hello!' });
socket.emit('typing_start', { thread_id: 1 });

// Server → Client  
socket.on('message_received', (data) => { });
socket.on('typing_status', (data) => { });
socket.on('read_receipt', (data) => { });

🔄 Real-time Flow

  1. User Types → Typing indicator sent via Socket.IO
  2. User Sends Message → Saved via REST API → Broadcasted via Socket.IO
  3. Other Users Receive → Real-time message appears
  4. User Reads Message → Read receipt sent via Socket.IO
  5. Status Updates → All users see read status

🛡️ Security Features

  • ✅ WordPress nonce verification
  • ✅ User capability checking
  • ✅ Input sanitization and validation
  • ✅ XSS protection
  • ✅ SQL injection prevention
  • ✅ Socket.IO authentication

📊 Production Ready Features

  • ✅ Error handling and logging
