# msg
[![Travis CI Status](https://travis-ci.org/lily-seabreeze/msg.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/lily-seabreeze/msg) [![Coveralls Code Coverage](https://img.shields.io/coveralls/lily-seabreeze/msg.svg)](https://coveralls.io/github/lily-seabreeze/msg) [![PyPi](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/msg.svg)](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/msg)
msg is a simple, but powerful RESTful [service-oriented architecture (SOA)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service-oriented_architecture) messaging library.
msg focuses on the overlapping core features of any messaging system, so you can skip to implementing the cool parts. You can use msg to build live chat/instant messenger, a forum, a Twitter clone, a blog, etc.
msg runs in Python 2 and 3. msg can be configured to use any database supported by SQLAlchemy.
The beauty in this project is that its focus/scope is tiny, the barebones of any messaging system, which we perfect for you.
For the REST API, setup instructions, deployment instructions, and more, please read [The Official msg Wiki](https://github.com/lily-seabreeze/msg/wiki)!
## Generic setup
install and launch redis server
Edit msg/config.py or override
pip install -r requirements/base.txt
gunicorn msg.msg:app –worker-class gevent –bind localhost:5000
If you’re using a non-default database:
python -c “import msg.msg; msg.msg.init_db()”
## Test it out
For the demo to work you need to install the Allow-Control-Allow-Origin: * plugin for Firefox, Chrome, whatever.
cd examples
python msgviewer.py
Checkout http://localhost:8080/ and http://localhost:8080/stream
If you’re using httpie (sudo apt install httpie) here are some example commands:
Create a user: http POST localhost:5000/user username=kitten password=yarn
Create a message: http POST localhost:5000/message text=”i love kittens” –auth kitten:yarn
