# How to build
1. [Install flutter](https://flutter.dev)
2. Clone the repo:
```
git clone --recurse-submodules https://gitlab.com/famedly/fluffychat
cd fluffychat
```
3. Choose your target platform below and enable support for it.
4. Debug with: `flutter run`
### Android
* Install CMake from the SDK Manager
* Install ninja:
```
sudo apt install ninja-build
```
* Build with: `flutter build apk`
### iOS / iPadOS
* With xcode you can't build a release version without our cert. :-/ Use `flutter run --profile` to have a working version on your iOS device.
### Web
* Enable web support in Flutter: https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/web
* Optionally edit the file `lib/app_config.dart`. If you e.g. only want to change the default homeserver, then only modify the `defaultHomeserver` key.
* 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.
### Desktop (Linux, Windows, macOS)
* Enable Desktop support in Flutter: https://flutter.dev/desktop
* Build with one of these:
```bash
flutter build linux --release
flutter build windows --release
flutter build macos --release
```
## How to add translations for your language
You can use Weblate to translate the app to your language:
https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/fluffychat/
If you want to get your translated strings approved, please ask in our
support room!
1. Replace the non-translated string in the codebase:
```
Text("Hello world"),
```
with a method call:
```
Text(L10n.of(context).helloWorld),
```
and add the following import if missing:
```
import 'package:flutter_gen/gen_l10n/l10n.dart';
```
2. Add the string to `/lib/l10n/l10n_en.arb`:
(The following example need to be sorounded by the usual json `{}` and after the `@@locale` key)
Example A:
```
"helloWorld": "Hello World!",
"@helloWorld": {
"description": "The conventional newborn programmer greeting"
}
```
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
