## Introduction

The `nextcloud/officeonline` repository hosts the official Nextcloud app for integrating with an Office Online Server. This integration allows users to view and edit Microsoft Office documents, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, directly within their Nextcloud environment. It provides a powerful solution for organizations seeking to combine the collaborative features of Nextcloud with the familiar interface and functionality of Office applications, all within a self-hosted infrastructure. It's important to note that this integration is designed for on-premise Office Online Server deployments and does not support cloud-based Office 365.

## Installation

To utilize this integration, you will need a functional on-premise Office Online Server. The Nextcloud server must be added as a trusted host for WOPI on your Office Online Server.

For detailed instructions on deploying Office Online Server, please refer to the official Microsoft documentation:
[Deploy Office Online Server](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/officeonlineserver/deploy-office-online-server "Deploy Office Online Server" target="_blank")

Once your Office Online Server is set up, you can install this app in your Nextcloud instance.

## Development Setup

For developers interested in contributing to or customizing the `officeonline` app, setting up a development environment is straightforward.

First, clone this repository into your Nextcloud `apps` directory. You will also need `npm` and `Node.js` installed to manage JavaScript dependencies and build the frontend code.

bash
npm ci
npm run dev


This will install the necessary dependencies and start the development build process.
