Forked from https://github.com/kingofthestack/react-chat-window. Same API.
react-live-chat
provides an intercom-like chat window that can be included easily in any project for free. It provides no messaging facilities, only the view component.
- Customizeable
- Backend agnostic
- Free
$ npm install react-chat-window
import React, {Component} from 'react'
import {render} from 'react-dom'
import {Launcher} from '../../src'
class Demo extends Component {
constructor() {
super();
this.state = {
messageList: messageHistory
};
}
_onMessageWasSent(message) {
this.setState({
messageList: [...this.state.messageList, message]
})
}
_sendMessage(text) {
if (text.length > 0) {
this.setState({
messageList: [...this.state.messageList, {
author: 'them',
type: 'text',
data: { text }
}]
})
}
}
render() {
return (<div>
<Launcher
agentProfile={{
teamName: 'react-live-chat',
imageUrl: 'https://a.slack-edge.com/66f9/img/avatars-teams/ava_0001-34.png'
}}
onMessageWasSent={this._onMessageWasSent.bind(this)}
messageList={this.state.messageList}
showEmoji
/>
</div>)
}
}
For more detailed examples see the demo folder.
Launcher
is the only component needed to use react-live-chat. It will react dynamically to changes in messages. All new messages must be added via a change in props as shown in the example.
Launcher props:
prop | type | description |
---|---|---|
*agentProfile | object | Represents your product or service's customer service agent. Fields: teamName, imageUrl |
onMessageWasSent | function(message) | Called when a message a message is sent with a message object as an argument. |
messageList | [message] | An array of message objects to be rendered as a conversation. |
showEmoji | bool | A bool indicating whether or not to show the emoji button |
Message objects are rendered differently depending on their type. Currently, only text and emoji types are supported. Each message object has an author
field which can have the value 'me' or 'them'.
{
author: 'them',
type: 'text',
data: {
text: 'some text'
}
}
{
author: 'me',
type: 'emoji',
data: {
code: 'someCode'
}
}
