Miya Chat

A simple chat application built with Flask.

Installation

You can install this package using pip:

pip install miya-chat

Usage

After installation, you can run the chat app using the following command:

miya-chat

This will start the Flask server on the default port 5000, and you can access the chat application in your web browser at http://localhost:5000.

To specify a custom port, you can use the --port option:

miya-chat --port 8080

This will start the server on port 8080, and you can access the application at http://localhost:8080.

Testing Locally

To test the chat app locally before distribution:

1. Clone the repository or navigate to your project directory.

2. Create and activate a virtual environment (optional but recommended):

   python -m venv test_env
   source test_env/bin/activate  # On Windows, use: test_env\Scripts\activate
   

3. Install the package in editable mode:

   pip install -e .
   

4. Run the app with the default port:

   miya-chat
   

   Access the app at http://localhost:5000

5. Run the app with a custom port:

   miya-chat --port 8080
   

   Access the app at http://localhost:8080

6. To test access from other devices on your local network, find your computer's local IP address and use that instead of localhost. For example:

   http://192.168.1.100:8080
   

Remember to deactivate the virtual environment when you're done testing:

deactivate
