Configuration

Any configuration properties should be grouped by runtime environment which is set via environment variable "KLAT_ENV"

Database

For database configuration location is managed via environment variable "DATABASE_CONFIG".

Note: database configuration can be merged inside other configurations (e.g. chat server configuration file) the only strong requirement is a key header "DATABASE_CONFIG"

Example of configuration

Example of configuration can be found in "example_db_config.json"

Chat Server

Chat server configuration location is managed via environment variable "CHATSERVER_CONFIG".

Example of configuration

Example of configuration can be found in "chat_server/example_server_config.json"

Launching

Chat Server can be launched as python module from root directory: python -m chat_server

Chat Client

Chat client configuration location is managed via environment variable "CHATCLIENT_CONFIG"

Client-side configuration

Client side configuration is used to determine Javascript configs, it should be named "runtime_config.json" and placed to "chat_client/static/js"

Example can be found in "chat_client/static/js/example_runtime_config.json"

Server-side configuration

Example of configuration can be found in "chat_client/example_client_config.json"

Launching

Chat Client can be launched as python module from root directory: python -m chat_client
