Development

Developing for the operator application is fairly straightforward with a few caveats. All of the Minimal Chat repositories are run through make. To get the application running:

1. Clone the repository
2. make dependencies
3. make run

To have the operator communicate with your local [daemon]() requires some confirguration. The operator application keeps a config.json file that it creates on run if it does not exist. It is recommended to let the application run once in disconnected mode rather than creating your own config.json.

1. Once you've run the application once, find the config.json file.
2. Open config.json, edit the "apiServer", set this to the IP and port that the daemon is running on. (e.g. http://localhost:8000, the default setting)
