This is a basic chat example. The code to the left, you can build realtime chat in 10 lines of JavaScript - just copy and paste the code into your favorite text editor and save as a .html.
For production-level apps, we recommend using ChatEngine, our chat SDK and APIs that dramatically reduce coding time for building chat apps.
Tasks like sending and receiving data through PubNub take a single function call. The basic “send” functionality happens through a publish() call.
And to “receive” all of the sent messages on a specific channel, simply make a subscribe() call. All of the network infrastructure and scaling is taken care of for you, so you spend time building your app, not the infrastructure.
