heat

Heat is a real-time message wall built during Rocketseat NLW #7 Heat (October 2021): sign in with GitHub, post messages and watch the feed update live. Two-app monorepo in its original layout.

Apps

App	Path	Description
API	backend-node	Express + Prisma (SQLite) REST/Socket.IO API with GitHub OAuth and JWT
Web	web-react	Vite + React SPA with live message feed

Features

• GitHub OAuth login (authorization code exchanged server-side for an access token)
• JWT sessions issued by the API
• Real-time message feed via Socket.IO
• Messages persisted through Prisma

Tech stack

Layer	Tools
API	Node.js, Express 4, Prisma 3 + SQLite, Socket.IO 4, jsonwebtoken, axios
Web	React 17, Vite 2, TypeScript, Sass, socket.io-client

How to run

Requirements

Node.js 14-16 era runtime (see legacy note) plus a GitHub OAuth App (client id and secret).

Backend

cd backend-node
yarn install
cp .env.example .env     # set DATABASE_URL, GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET and related vars
npx prisma migrate deploy
yarn dev:server          # http://localhost:4000

Frontend

cd web-react
yarn install
yarn dev                 # http://localhost:3000

Legacy note

Event project from October 2021 with era-pinned dependencies (Next-free stack: Express 4, Prisma 3, Vite 2). Expect friction on current Node versions without upgrades. Estimated modernization effort if picked up later: small (half-day), bumping dependencies and refreshing the OAuth flow. No fixes are planned as part of this cleanup phase.
