How can I integrate Azure communication service in my web application and where the chat data will be stored,
Do you have any sample application in Angular with web api?

Answer 1

Thanks for asking question! If you are looking for using azure communication chat using Angular and generate tokens in the back-end.

The first thing is to create a communication service resource. After creating Communication service you can look for Connection strings which allow the Communication Services SDKs to connect and authenticate to Azure. You can access your Communication Services connection strings and service endpoints from the Azure portal or programmatically with Azure Resource Manager APIs.

Answer 2

Thanks! You may want to know that communication Services stores chat history until explicitly deleted.
Chat thread participants can use ListMessages to view message history for a particular thread. Users removed from a chat thread will be able to view previous message history, but they won't be able to send or receive new messages as part of that chat thread.

To learn more about data being stored by Communication Services, refer to documentation on privacy.

Chat threads can have one or many users as participants who can send messages to it and user can be a part of one or many chat threads.

Also, ACS Chat SDKs can be used to add real-time text chat to your applications.
