# JCHAT Web Client

A pure HTML/JavaScript client for the JCHAT protocol. No build process required - just serve the static files.

## Quick Start

### Option 1: Using shttpd (recommended)
```bash
shttpd . --port 3000
```

### Option 2: Using Python
```bash
python3 -m http.server 3000
```

### Option 3: Using any web server
Point your web server (nginx, Apache, etc.) to serve files from this directory.

## Files

- `index.html` - Main client interface
- `jmap-client.js` - JMAP protocol client library  
- `app.js` - Chat application logic
- `package.json` - Project metadata (no dependencies)

## Usage

1. Make sure the JCHAT server is running on `localhost:8080`
2. Serve these files on any port (e.g., 3000)
3. Open `http://localhost:3000` in your browser
4. The client will automatically connect to the JCHAT server

## Configuration

The client connects to `http://localhost:8080` by default. To change this, edit the `serverUrl` in `app.js`:

```javascript
class JChatApp {
    constructor() {
        this.jmapClient = new JMAPClient('http://your-server:8080');
        // ...
    }
}
```

## Browser Support

Works in any modern browser that supports:
- ES6 Classes
- Fetch API
- Arrow functions
- Template literals

## No Build Required

This is intentionally a simple, dependency-free client. No webpack, no npm install, no build process. Just HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript.
