Assets folder

[eroncastro]

Describe the bug When I change the url path in which my application will be running, I want it to be able to also server assets from that path.

In my case, I am having trouble with assets/modules/channel-web/inject.js It uses config.host, and I would like it to use config.host + '/bot'.

function init(config) {
  const host = config.host || window.ROOT_PATH || ''
  const botId = config.botId || ''
  const cssHref = host + '/assets/modules/channel-web/inject.css'
  injectDOMElement('link', 'head', { rel: 'stylesheet', href: cssHref })
  const options = encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify({ config: config }))
  let iframeSrc = host + '/lite/' + botId + '/?m=channel-web&v=Embedded&options=' + options
  if (config.ref) {
    iframeSrc += '&ref=' + encodeURIComponent(config.ref)
  }
  const iframeHTML = '<iframe id="bp-widget" frameborder="0" src="' + iframeSrc + '" class="bp-widget-web"/>'
  injectDOMElement('div', 'body', { id: 'bp-web-widget', innerHTML: iframeHTML })

  const iframeWindow = document.querySelector('#bp-web-widget > #bp-widget').contentWindow
  function configure(payload) {
    iframeWindow.postMessage({ action: 'configure', payload: payload }, '*')
  }
  function sendEvent(payload) {
    iframeWindow.postMessage({ action: 'event', payload: payload }, '*')
  }
  function mergeConfig(payload) {
    iframeWindow.postMessage({ action: 'mergeConfig', payload: payload }, '*')
  }

  window.botpressWebChat.configure = configure
  window.botpressWebChat.sendEvent = sendEvent
  window.botpressWebChat.mergeConfig = mergeConfig
}

Try to specify externalUrl in httpServer of botpress.config.json.

{ "$schema": "../botpress.config.schema.json", "httpServer": { "host": "localhost", "externalUrl": "http://localhost:3000/bot", "port": 3000,

...

config.host could be equal to externaUrl. Notice please, that it may require change of some paths inside project. Also it may cause a lot of bugs related to incorrect path. It's better to use subdomain instead.

You may get more info there https://botpress.io/docs/advanced/configuration

As @demogoran said, you simply need to update the externalUrl to serve a custom path. You can even put multiple folders down (eg: externalUrl: 'http://localhost:3000/my/bots).

Out of the box, it should work without issues. If you encounter some, please share them with us
