Basic Usage

A simple chat implementation with default settings.

Full Example

import { Chat } from "@cognipeer/chat-ui";
import "@cognipeer/chat-ui/styles.css";

export default function ChatPage() {
  return (
    <div className="h-screen bg-gray-900">
      <Chat
        baseUrl="/api/agents"
        agentId="assistant"
        theme="dark"
      />
    </div>
  );
}

Step by Step

1. Install the package

npm install @cognipeer/chat-ui

2. Import styles

import "@cognipeer/chat-ui/styles.css";

3. Add the Chat component

import { Chat } from "@cognipeer/chat-ui";

<Chat
  baseUrl="/api/agents"
  agentId="assistant"
/>

4. Ensure proper sizing

The Chat component fills its container:

<div className="h-screen">
  <Chat ... />
</div>

With Authentication

<Chat
  baseUrl="/api/agents"
  agentId="assistant"
  authorization="Bearer your-token"
/>

With Callbacks

<Chat
  baseUrl="/api/agents"
  agentId="assistant"
  onMessageSent={(message) => {
    console.log("User sent:", message.content);
  }}
  onMessageReceived={(message) => {
    console.log("Agent replied:", message.content);
  }}
  onError={(error) => {
    console.error("Error:", error.message);
  }}
/>

Next.js Example

// app/chat/page.tsx
"use client";

import { Chat } from "@cognipeer/chat-ui";
import "@cognipeer/chat-ui/styles.css";

export default function ChatPage() {
  return (

      <Chat
        baseUrl="/api/agents"
        agentId="assistant"
        theme="dark"
      />
