Currently, it's very common to find chat pop-ups when you're browsing websites.

Those widgets, at Rocket.Chat, are called **LiveChat**.

**LiveChat** is a small and lightweight application designed to provide B2C (Business-to-customer) communication between Agents and website visitors and is developed with [Preact](https://preactjs.com).

## Running a development environment

With your **Rocket.chat** running locally at http://localhost:3000
<br />

1. Install all node dependencies.
``` bash
yarn
```

2. Build preact application to `/build` folder
``` bash
yarn dev
```

3. In another terminal, run webpack with hot reload at http://localhost:8080
``` bash
yarn start
```

4. Open this file below in your browser
``` bash
widget-demo.html
```

*OBS: For a better performance, you can run this `widget-demo.html` on a [http server](https://github.com/http-party/http-server).*

## Different host

To select a different host on your local widget, check this configuration at `/src/api.js` file.

``` javascript
const host = window.SERVER_URL
	|| queryString.parse(window.location.search).serverUrl
	|| (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development' ? 'http://localhost:3000' : null);
```

Here, you can change to your new configuration.

``` javascript
const host = window.SERVER_URL
	|| queryString.parse(window.location.search).serverUrl
	|| (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development' ? 'https://your.rocketserver.com' : null);
```

## Available CLI Commands

``` bash
# install dependencies
yarn

# serve with hot reload at localhost:8080

# build preact application to "build" folder
