The first step to building a chat app is to have rooms to chat in. We'll need to create a Room collection (or table) in Fauna that we'll be adding to.
In our Next Application we'll create a simple form that has a submit handler that will create those rooms in Fauna. We need to hold some state in our component so we'll turn the page into a client component with 'use client'
.
There will be a little bit more Fauna set up to get things working. We need to create a key for our application to interact with our database so we'll create a key by running Key.create
in our fauna shell
. Then we'll install the fauna
client and make a client.query
to create the room.
