Chatterbox lets you securely embed [Hydrogen](https://github.com/vector-im/hydrogen-web) within any website.
### Develop Instructions
---
1) Clone the repo.
2) Install dependencies (you only need to do this once):
```properties
yarn install
```
3) Modify config.json in `public` directory with your homeserver details.
(See [`types/IChatterboxConfig.ts`](https://github.com/vector-im/chatterbox/blob/main/src/types/IChatterboxConfig.ts) for the format)
4) Start develop server:
```properties
yarn start
```
### Build Instructions
---
Follow the develop instructions above (steps 1-3), then:
- Build chatterbox app into `/target` directory:
```properties
yarn build
```
### Embed Instructions
---
Assuming that the build output (inside `/target`) is hosted at `<root>` (eg: chatterbox.element.io), copy and paste the following snippet before the closing `</body>` tag:
```html
<script>
window.CHATTERBOX_CONFIG_LOCATION = "path_to_config";
<script src="<root>/assets/parent.js" type="module" id="chatterbox-script"></script>
