Setting up your environment
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
In order to theme converse.js, you first need to set up a :ref:`development` environment.
|
|
|
|
You'll also want to preview the changes you make in your browser, for which a
|
|
webserver will be useful.
|
|
|
|
To both set up the development environment and also start up a web browser to
|
|
serve the files for you, simply run::
|
|
|
|
make serve
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
To run the "make" commands, you'll need `GNUMake <https://www.gnu.org/software/make>`_
|
|
installed on your computer. If you use GNU/Linux or \*BSD, it should be installed or
|
|
available via your package manager. For Mac, I think you need to install XCode and in
|
|
Windows you can use `Chocolatey <https://chocolatey.org/>`_.
|
|
|
|
After running ``make serve`` you can open http://localhost:8000 in your webbrowser you'll
|
|
see the converse.js website.
|
|
|
|
However, when developing or changing the theme, you'll want to load all the
|
|
unminified JS and CSS resources as separate files. To do this, open http://localhost:8000/dev.html
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
Mockups
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Converse.js contains some mockups in the ``./mockup`` directory against which you
|
|
can preview and tweak your changes.
|
|
|
|
The ``./mockup/index.html`` file contains the most comprehensive mockup, while
|
|
the other files focus on particular UI aspects.
|
|
|
|
To see it in your browser, simply open: http://localhost:8000/mockup
|
|
|
|
|
|
Modifying the HTML templates of Converse.js
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
The HTML markup of converse.js is contained in small ``.html`` files in the
|
|
``./src/templates`` directory.
|
|
|
|
You can modify HTML markup that converse.js generates by modifying these files.
|
|
|
|
Modifying the CSS
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
The CSS files are generated from `Sass <http://sass-lang.com>`_ files in the ``./sass`` directory.
|
|
|
|
To generate the CSS you can run::
|
|
|
|
make css
|
|
|
|
Creating builds
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Once you've themed converse.js, you'll want to create new minified builds of
|
|
the Javascript and CSS files.
|
|
|
|
Please refer to the :doc:`builds` section for information on how this is done.
