# GPT4ALL-UI Web interface VUE3

## Dependencies for development

You mus have [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) installed on your computer. 

```
git clone repo_URL
cd into-this-repo-dir
npm install
```

After that to run development server locally and test the web page at http://localhost:5173/:

```
npm run dev
```

To connect to GPT4ALL-UI API server you need to enter its URL in the `.env` or make a copy of `.env` file and name it `.env.local`. This .env.local is added to `.gitignore`. 
All http requests made to GPT4ALL-UI api has to have /api/ prefix. This prefix gets rewritten in the vite.config.js file.
Make changes to your usecase in the `.env.local` file.

Once UI id done you can build static files for serving.
```
npm run build
```

This will create /dist/ folder with all the files. Also the build will show you if there are errors or not in your vue code.
> Make sure you test the static files too, because sometimes the builder dont catch all the errors, and if a component is not refernced it might not load in the built version, but it loads fine in development environment
