The minified ``.js`` and ``.css`` files provide the same functionality as is available
on the `conversejs.org <https://conversejs.org>`_ website. Useful for testing or demoing.
Alternative builds are however also available via the CDN.
Converse.js is composed out of plugins, and you are able to exclude certain
plugins (and to include your own new plugins) when creating a build. This
enables you to create your own custom builds of Converse.js that differ from
the standard one.
Fullscreen version
------------------
Converse.js also comes in a fullscreen version (often referred to as Inverse).
A hosted version is available online at `inverse.chat <https://inverse.chat>`_.
To load the fullscreen version, simply replace
``converse.min.js`` with ``inverse.min.js`` and ``converse.min.css`` with
``inverse.min.css``.
Besides the standard build, the Converse.js repository includes configuration
for certain other non-standard builds, which we'll now mention below.

When you load `conversejs.org <https://conversejs.org>`_ with a mobile device
then the mobile JavaScript build and its CSS will be used.
Excluding 3rd party dependencies

Excluding all 3rd party dependencies
------------------------------------
Then there is also a build that contains no 3rd party dependencies, called
``converse-no-dependencies.min.js`` and which is used in the ``non_amd.html``
page in the repository.
Excluding only jQuery

Headless build
--------------
There is also the option of making a headless build of converse.js.
This means a build without any UI but still containing core functionality of
maintaining a roster, chat boxes and messages.
The file `src/headless.js <https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js/blob/master/src/headless.js>`_
is used to determine which plugins are included in the build.
Unfortunately it's currently not yet possible to include Multi-user chat (MUC)
functionality in the headless build. This is because both the UI and core
functionality is still contained in one plugin and would first need to be
split up into two parts, with the UI part dropped for this build.
Fullscreen version
------------------
Converse.js also comes in a fullscreen version (often referred to as Inverse).
A hosted version is available online at `inverse.chat <https://inverse.chat>`_.
Originally this version was available as a separate build file, but
as of version 4.0.0 and higher, the difference between the "overlay" and the
"fullscreen" versions of converse.js is simply a matter of configuring the
:ref:`view_mode` and including the right CSS file.
For the default "overlay" version, ``converse.css`` is used, and for the
"fullscreen" version ``inverse.css`` is used.
We'd like to eventually not require two different CSS files, and to allow you
to seamlessly switch between the different view modes.
To generate the headless build, run ``make dist/converse-headless.js`` and/or
``make dist/converse-headless.min.js``.
Lastly there is a build called ``converse.nojquery.min.js`` which excludes only
jQuery but still includes all other 3rd party dependencies.
Where to go from here?
