## 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 under `build/` is
compiled from a matching entry point in `src/` (e.g. `build/admin/index.js` `
src/admin/index.tsx`, `build/blocks//index.js` `src/blocks//index.
js`).
* **Build tooling:** [`@wordpress/scripts`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wordpress/scripts)(
webpack), configured in `webpack.config.js` and `tsconfig.json`. Dependencies
and the build script are declared in `package.json` / `package-lock.json`.
* **Build the assets:**
1. `npm install`
2. `npm run build` — regenerates everything in `build/`.
* **PHP dependencies:** `composer.json` declares dev-only tooling (PHPUnit, WP
Coding Standards). No runtime Composer dependencies. Run `composer install` then`
vendor/bin/phpunit` for 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.
## Blocks
This plugin provides 5 blocks.
* Frequently Bought Together Suggests products commonly bought together, based
on your store's WooCommerce data.
* Chat Widget Floating FAQ chat bubble that helps shoppers find products. Runs
locally on your site.
* Related Products Recommends similar products using WooCommerce's built-in related
products.
* Recently Viewed Shows the visitor the products they recently viewed. No external
service required.
* Product Search Bar Catalog search bar backed by a typo-tolerant keyword index.
## Installation
1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/wow-chat-for-woo` (or install
via the WordPress plugin installer).
2. Activate “Wow Chat for Woo” from the Plugins screen. WooCommerce must be active.
3. Open **WooCommerce Wow Chat for Woo** to configure the search bar, recommendation

## FAQ
### Does the plugin require an account or API key?
No. Search, recommendations, and the FAQ chat all run locally with no external requests.
### Is any data sent off my site?
No. The plugin processes everything on your own WordPress install; it does not phone
home or send catalog or visitor data to any external service.
### Where can I report bugs or request features?
Please use the support forum on WordPress.org or open an issue at the plugin’s homepage.
