### Requirements
- Node.js 20+
- Node.js 20+ (Docker image uses Node 24)
- npm
- Backend API running on `http://localhost:8300`
- Backend API on `http://localhost:8300` (proxied as `/api`)
### Quick Start
**1. Clone repository:**
### Quick start
```bash
git clone https://github.com/fromchat-messenger/web.git
cd web
```
**2. Install dependencies:**
```bash
npm install
cp .env.example .env # if needed; install may copy it for you
npm run frontend:dev
```
**3. Configure .env:**
Open `http://localhost:8301`.
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
Edit `.env`:
`.env`:
```env
# Backend API
VITE_API_URL=http://localhost:8300
VITE_WS_URL=ws://localhost:8300
# App settings
VITE_APP_NAME=FromChat
VITE_APP_VERSION=1.0.0
# HTTP API host (Vite proxy target for /api)
VITE_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8300
```
**4. Start dev server:**
```bash
npm run dev
```
Web client will be available at `http://localhost:8304`
**5. Open in browser:**
Go to `http://localhost:8304` and log in.
In the browser the client uses same-origin `/api` (HTTP and WebSocket, e.g. `/api/chat/ws`).
### Commands
```bash
# Dev server (with hot reload)
npm run dev
# Type checking (TypeScript)
npm run typecheck
# Build for production
npm run build
# Preview production build
npm run preview
# Lint (code style check)
npm run lint
npm run frontend:dev # Vite on :8301
npm run frontend:typecheck # TypeScript
npm run frontend:build # typecheck + production build → build/normal
npm run frontend:preview # preview built frontend
npm run frontend:electron:dev # Electron + Vite
npm run frontend:electron:build # Electron package
```

### API Configuration
Connect to the backend API via `.env`:
```env
# Development
VITE_API_URL=http://localhost:8300
VITE_WS_URL=ws://localhost:8300
# Production
VITE_API_URL=https://api.fromchat.ru
VITE_WS_URL=wss://api.fromchat.ru
```
The API supports both URL variants:
- `/api/endpoint`
- `/endpoint` (without prefix)
Both work identically.

## 🐳 Docker
### Build image
```bash
docker build -t fromchat-web:latest .
# or via compose:
docker compose --env-file .env up --build
```
### Run container
Container listens on port **8301** (static server on 80 inside).
```bash
docker run -p 8304:8304 \
-e VITE_API_URL=http://localhost:8300 \
-e VITE_WS_URL=ws://localhost:8300 \
fromchat-web:latest
```
### Production with Caddy
Web client is automatically routed to `web.fromchat.ru` when using Caddy.
Production edge (Caddy/HAProxy) is configured via the deployment repo / backend `compose.prod.yml`.
