Hi @gox-ai @kickbox

See my comments on #37

Yes. Others are asking (#32) and I'm working on a fully functioning version to include with this repo.

For now if you want the quick version so you can work locally, you need to install webpack-dev-server, which is what Create React App uses. Just run these commands:

1. Install webpack dev server: npm i -D webpack-dev-server
2. Run webpack dev server: npx webpack-dev-server --mode development --port 8080
3. Open the page you're working on in the browser: http://localhost:8080/about.html

Couple of notes:

• Hot reloading should work. Just save your code changes and the page will reload.
• As you said, you'll need to mock any server responses. If you actually try to call the server you'll get a google is not defined error in the browser. http://localhost:8080/main.html in my example app won't load since it calls the server, but about.html.
• Your page will take up the full screen, so you may want to wrap it in a container that's the size of your dialog/sidebar to see what it will actually look like.

I have a solution on how to run your local code inside an actual google dialog/sidebar, and call the actual server functions. It works really well, it's just pretty complicated and needs cleaning up. Will post here when I have a version you can try out.

Yup, there is, it just requires a lot of changes. I haven't had a chance to update the repo, but will do so as soon as I can.

Hi enuchi, thats great news. Could you give some pointers as to how to do this?

Okay @enuchi your comments seem very interesting. From where I stand it looks almost impossible to do that. Iam very much looking forward to your solution.

We can track using the other issue. Closing this.
