An application for Mattermost for OS X, Windows, and Linux, powered by Electron.

First, clone down this project, and then from within that directory in your favorite terminal run:

>  npm install 
// installs packages....
> npm link
// creates a local symlink

You're now ready to start developing against your local mattermost installation. Make sure you have your config.json setup as noted in the steps below.

Create a config.json file in the /src directory. It should look like this:

{
    "url": "https://mattermost.example.com/team-name"
}

Including the team name is optional but makes things incredibly smoother if you have disabled account creation and log in exclusively with GitLab SSO.

In the future, this will be settable from the UI.

This project contains a Vagrant environment, consisting of a locally hostable mattermost instance you can use for testing. Alternatively, you can use your own production mattermost server.

After following the configuration steps above, run npm start from within your matterfront directory

1. Set up your config.json using "url":"http://192.168.33.33"
2. run vagrant up from within your local copy of this repo
3. run npm start

First follow the install instrustions above. Then from within your project root, you can build for all platforms and distributions by running:

npm run build

This will output the following distributions into the /dist directory:

dist/
 |- matterfront-darwin-x64/
 |- matterfront-linux-ia32/
 |- matterfront-linux-x64/
 |- matterfront-win32-ia32/
 |- matterfront-win32-x64/

Each directory contains an executable for the platform listed. For more detailed build options, check out how to modify your build from within package.json by using the options from electron-packager to modify your built artifacts.
