nestjs-chatReal-time chat SDK for NestJS

Install `nestjs-chat`, import `ChatModule.forRoot()`, and add chat to any NestJS backend in minutes.

Drop-in NestJS module

Install nestjs-chat from npm, import ChatModule.forRoot() into your existing NestJS project. You bring auth, users, and storage — the SDK brings everything else.

63 REST endpoints

Channels, messages, polls, scheduled messages, moderation, reactions. Swagger-documented. Works alongside your own controllers.

42 WebSocket events

Real-time via Socket.IO — typing, read receipts, reactions, presence, member events. Redis adapter for horizontal scaling.

Multi-tenant by design

Every query scoped by tenantId. Your IChatUserExtractor decides how tenants map to your app (org, workspace, project — whatever).

Production-grade data layer

Prisma 7 + PostgreSQL for persistence, BullMQ + Redis for scheduled messages, Winston for structured logs. 11 models, bundled migrations.

Self-hosted, no SaaS fees

You only pay for your PostgreSQL and Redis. No per-seat or per-message pricing. MIT licensed.
