```
* debug_output => true
* templatecache => false
* templatecompile => false
* modulecompile => false
```
* To compile JS from lhc_web folder execute. This will compile main JS and old widget javascript files.
* `npm install && gulp`
* To compile new widget V2
* There is two apps [wrapper](https://github.com/LiveHelperChat/livehelperchat/tree/master/lhc_web/design/defaulttheme/widget/wrapper) and [widget](https://github.com/LiveHelperChat/livehelperchat/tree/master/lhc_web/design/defaulttheme/widget/react-app)
