botpress-web

How to run this

Important: You will need to run the development botpress branch (next) in order for this demo to work. The reason is because the fullscreen features is unreleased yet.

• Compile botpress on branch next
• npm link ../path/to/botpress in your bot
• Run your bot and navigate to the botpress-web module interface
• Append the viewMode=3 to the URL query to put it in fullscreen

TODO

• Users are currently all anonymous / unauthenticated / unidentified
• This works only with one user (the bot currently broadcasts to all users)
• Change the background
• Fix the File Selector
• Handle File Uploads
• Handle typing indicator

Pro Version

• Make the chat style customizable (pro version, ask @Sylvain about this)

Caveats

• If you're running the bot in NODE_ENV=production, the module will prompt a login screen. We solved this situation in Botpress Pro (ask @Sylvain about this). To run this in production you essentially need a Pro version due to technical limitations regarding authentication & UI.
