matrix-react-sdk
This is a react-based SDK for inserting a Matrix chat client into a web page
Getting started with the example
- Install or update
node.js
so that yournpm
is at least at version2.0.0
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk.git
- Switch to your new checkout:
cd matrix-react-sdk
- Build the CSS:
npm install && npm run build:css
- Switch to the example:
cd example
- Build the javascript & copy the CSS:
npm install && npm run build && ln -s ../bundle.css ./
Serve the app from within the example
directory by running python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
and access it at
http://127.0.0.1:8000
Using the example app for development
To develop using the example app, you can avoid havign to repeat the above steps each time you change something:
- Perform all the steps above
- In the matrix-react-sdk directory:
npm run start:css
- Open a new terminal window in the matrix-react-sdk directory:
cd example; npm start
Now, development version of your Javascript and CSS will be rebuilt whenever you change any of the files (although you may need to restart the CSS builder if you add a new file). Note that the debug CSS and Javascript are much, much larger than the production versions.
