Description
Wow Chat for Woo adds shopper-friendly product discovery to a WooCommerce store. Everything runs locally on your site — no account, no API key, and no external service.
- Typo-tolerant catalog search backed by MySQL FULLTEXT and a custom ranker.
- « Recently viewed », « Related products », and « Frequently bought together » recommendation widgets.
- A FAQ chat bubble that doubles as an on-store product finder.
- Gutenberg blocks for the search bar, recommendation grids, and chat widget.
Development
This plugin ships both the compiled assets (in build/) and their full, human-readable source so the build is reproducible.
- JavaScript/TypeScript/SCSS source:
src/— every bundle underbuild/is compiled from a matching entry point insrc/(e.g.build/admin/index.jssrc/admin/index.tsx,build/blocks/<name>/index.jssrc/blocks/<name>/index.js). - Build tooling:
@wordpress/scripts(webpack), configured inwebpack.config.jsandtsconfig.json. Dependencies and the build script are declared inpackage.json/package-lock.json. - Build the assets:
npm installnpm run build— regenerates everything inbuild/.
- PHP dependencies:
composer.jsondeclares dev-only tooling (PHPUnit, WP Coding Standards). No runtime Composer dependencies. Runcomposer installthenvendor/bin/phpunitfor the PHP test suite.
No third-party JavaScript libraries are bundled into the compiled assets. The only external packages used (@wordpress/* and react) are not bundled — they load from the WordPress-provided script globals at runtime.
