E-Commerce Live Chat (Angular)

This is a minimal Angular app designed to simulate the customer side of a live chat system. Customers can open the chat interface and communicate in real-time with available support agents using Socket.IO.

This app is integrated with the full customer support backend and is fully dynamic — you don't need to register the customer beforehand.

💬 Features

• 🔐 Chat initiated without login (anonymous or via user ID)
• 💬 Real-time messaging via Socket.IO
• 📶 Typing indicator for customers and agents
• 🚀 Automatically assigns to an available agent
• 🧠 Smart behavior: If agents are busy/away, the chat is queued

🔗 Real-time Flow

Once a customer opens the chat and sends a message:

1. The backend checks for available agents.
2. If one is available, the chat is assigned instantly.
3. If no agents are available, chat is marked as new and queued.
4. Customer gets notified when agent responds.
