Companion

The companion view is a compact view designed to sit in a sidebar or similar location. It offers the same chat experience as the console view, but is designed to be more compact and less cluttered.

Below is a bare-bones example of a console chat. The only difference between this experience and the console experience is setting viewType="companion" on the <Chat /> component.

Below is the code for the above example.


<Chat
  sessions={[
    {
      id: '1',
      title: 'Session 1',
      createdAt: new Date(),
      updatedAt: new Date(),
      conversations: [
        {
          id: '1',
          question: 'What is React?',
          response: 'React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.',
          createdAt: new Date(),
          updatedAt: new Date()
        },
        {
          id: '2',
          question: 'What is JSX?',
          response: 'JSX is a syntax extension for JavaScript.',
          createdAt: new Date(),
          updatedAt: new Date()
        }
      ]
    }
  ]}
viewType="companion"
  onDeleteSession={() => alert("delete!")}
  >
  <SessionsList>
    <NewSessionButton />
    <SessionGroups />
  </SessionsList>
  <SessionMessagePanel>
    <SessionMessagesHeader />
    <SessionMessages />
    <ChatInput />
  </SessionMessagePanel>
  </Chat>
