Hey this is for you, if you want to help in building the project,
Since, the core of the program is separated and independent of the UI, There seems a hassle of building both the core and the UI for testing changes/features,
⚡ But this is not the case with chat_desk ⚡
For debugging purpose, you can replace the spawner command in server_handler.dart
,
to enable embedded core,
All you need to do is to replace,
Only this line
_serverProcess = await Process.start(
"${!Platform.isWindows ? "./" : ""}chat_desk_core.exe", []);
With this line
_serverProcess = await Process.start(
"dart", ["lib/core/server/server.dart"]);
And thats all, your embedded server is ready for testing!!
