Polymer-chat is a very simple, proof-of-concept, web component for embedding an unobtrusive chat widget in your website. I'm having fun building it using Google Polymer and its server side companion project is called nodeChatServer.
Please note that this project is born as a self teaching experiment and therefore is not meant at all to be released in the wild as-is!
Every feedback is very well accepted as well as pull requests.
Polymer-chat at the moment relies on a Primus node server to connect to and its address is hardcoded into the polymer component.
Therefore if you wish to use this component you need to either supply your own server and modify the URL, either git clone
my other repository nodeChatsServer and start it up.
Once this is all done, you only need to reference Polymer and the element itself from within your HTML file:
<!-- Place your HTML imports here -->
<script src="bower_components/platform/platform.js"></script>
<link rel="import" href="elements/chat.html">
To build the project just clone the repository and issue command
npm install
followed by
bower install
To launch the example page, simply type
grunt serve
You will need to have both npm
and bower
installed.
