### Web
2020-10-10 12:22:08 +02:00
* Enable web support in Flutter: https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/web
2020-11-08 20:42:35 +01:00
* Build with:
```bash
./scripts/prepare-web.sh
flutter clean
flutter pub get
flutter build web --release --verbose
```
* Optionally configure by serving a `config.json` at the same path as fluffychat.
An example can be found at `config.sample.json`. None of these
values have to exist, the ones stated here are the default ones. If you e.g. only want
to change the default homeserver, then only modify the `default_homeserver` key.

## How to add translations for your language
2020-06-20 12:09:19 +02:00
You can use Weblate to translate the app to your language:
https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/fluffychat/
2020-01-20 09:50:49 +01:00
1. Replace the non-translated string in the codebase:
```
Text("Hello world"),
```
with a method call:
```
2020-05-07 07:52:40 +02:00
Text(L10n.of(context).helloWorld),
2020-01-20 09:50:49 +01:00
```
and add the following import if missing:
2020-01-20 09:50:49 +01:00
```
import 'package:flutter_gen/gen_l10n/l10n.dart';
2020-01-20 09:50:49 +01:00
```
2. Add the string to `/lib/l10n/l10n_en.arb`:
2020-01-20 09:50:49 +01:00
(The following example need to be sorounded by the usual json `{}` and after the `@@locale` key)
Example A:
2020-01-20 09:50:49 +01:00
```
"helloWorld": "Hello World!",
"@helloWorld": {
"description": "The conventional newborn programmer greeting"
}
2020-01-20 09:50:49 +01:00
```
Example B:
```
"hello": "Hello {userName}",
"@hello": {
"description": "A message with a single parameter",
"placeholders": {
"userName": {
"type": “String”,
“example”: “Bob”
}
}
}
```

3. For testing just run a regular build without extras
