Real-time Chat Application Design: Architecture and Workflow

In this diagram, I have four entities: ChatService, Message, Sender, and Receiver. The ChatService is responsible for sending and receiving messages, and it provides two methods for doing so (sendMessage and receiveMessage).Message represents a message object with properties such as id, sender, receiver, content, and timestamp. The Sender and Receiver classes represent the clients who use the chat service to send and receive messages, respectively.

The diagram shows that a Sender creates a Message object and sends it to the ChatService by calling the sendMessage method. The ChatService then handles the message and sends it to the intended Receiver, who receives the message by calling the receiveMessage method.

Overall, this diagram shows the basic relationship between the Sender, Receiver, and ChatService in a chat system.
