ChatFeed

ChatFeed

The ChatFeed component is your one stop shop for all your chat needs. If you don't want to manage your own chat feed, this is a great place to start. You don't need to worry about anything other than your messages.

Props

• bubblesCentered: Boolean - should the bubbles be centered in the ChatFeed?
• bubbleStyles: Object - some custom styles to be applied to the bubble div and/or text within the bubble.
• chatBubble new: React.Component - A custom chat bubble that you can make yourself! (If you're using TypeScript for your project, you can import the ChatBubbleProps for your components constructor)
• isTyping: Boolean - Should we append an ellipses to the end of the feed?
• maxHeight: number - The max height of the chat feed, in pixels.
• messages: Array - An array of Message objects. The ChatFeed will convert these to bubbles for you and handle all rendering logic.
• showSenderName: Boolean - Should the bubbles show the name of the sender?
