How to build from source

Hi. I want to build from source. How to do that ?

Assuming you already understand the front-end technology stack：

pnpm install

pnpm dev  // dev

pnpm run pack  // prod 

If you want to integrate into your own website:

1. To change the app entry file（https://github.com/molvqingtai/WebChat/blob/master/src/app/content/index.tsx） to the form of a component, such as component/web-chat, you need to delete the browser plug-in-related code, that is, only keep the code in render
2. Change the BrowserSyncStorageImpl storage implementation to your custom storage, as this storage implementation relies on the chrome plugin API, you can use localStorage or IndexDBStorage, or even store to the server instead, since the constraints are asynchronous
3. Due to the instability of the P2P connection, it is recommended to use a custom server, such as websocket or a regular resful api, and just implement the constraints in externs/ChatRoom.ts & externs/VirtualRoom.ts in the impls folder, i.e., support the request method in the room on the server side
