Hey Fedrick, thanks for an amazing chat bot, but I want to make it little more interactive, is there any option to prompt user for an input and collect the text he entered with the help of any funtion?. Can we also make custom widgets on the fly to react to any event(ex: button click) fire an api call and return the user with that widget?. Appericiate your help!

Feel free to check this out. Some of your answers might be solved.
Check the chatbot-frontend folder

@FredrikOseberg, I'm achieving everything I need using your package thanks a lot to you, although I am stuck on one point: how can I give input to widgets through a message parser.
thanks in advance

Amazing application bruh good work

By default, the chatbot shows up in an empty web page. I have bundled the distribution as a webpack, and it compiles fine. However, the popup does not show on my application. How can i make it a floating chat popup? Have been stuck at this since yesterday, maybe I'm missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks in advance!

Not sure I understand the problem, but here's an example of creating a floating chat popup: https://github.com/FredrikOseberg/react-chatbot-kit-docs/blob/master/src/App.js

@FrederikOseberg - thank you! This was very helpful and helped with my issue. I just love the react-chatbot-kit! Thanks again :)

Hello, thank you for the work.

My question is How can I plz use the header of the customComponents in another component in my app.

I want to use it for a component unmount (So when i click on the header the chatbot is reduced ) .

Thanks.

Hi, Can you please let me know more about userChatMessage. I want to know what can I do using this. I can't find anything :(

Hey @FredrikOseberg :) Thank you very much for your helpful tutorial and template! But I have one question:
I implemented state in the config and updated state in the ActionProvider like you did. But when I try to access state in the ActionProvider (with this.state.authorName), it does not work. I really do not understand why. Maybe you could help me with this problem? You can find my code under the following link: https://codesandbox.io/s/github/MichelleMertin/Masterarbeit_StateError

Thank you very much in advance!

Hey @FredrikOseberg !

Can you please tell me. How can I add voice command (speech-to-text) next to send button ?

Hi, FredrikOseberg Thanks for the amazing npm package. I need to change the send button icon how can I achieve this
You can remove the svg tag that creates the default bot button image and instead create a div which holds an src to an image and style it . It will work.

@FredrikOseberg Is there way to change the send Message icon ?

Hi, Does this libraray works with React-Native @FredrikOseberg ?

using functional approach for the actionProvider and messageParser... wheni console.log props in the component that it to be rendered and defined in widgetFunc the props.actionProvider is empty ...thought if i swtich back to class components then it props.actionProvider has all functions defined in actionProvider

and why createClientMessage is not a function in functional component?

@FredrikOseberg, i am using your chat bot i have modified chat header here i want load widget when i click icon which i marked in blue color in screenshot

And chat code is

{showBot ?
<Chatbot
config={config}
actionProvider={ActionProvider}

disableScrollToBottom="false"
headerText={
<div style={{ display: "flex" }}>
<div style={{ display: "flex", alignItems: "center" }}>

<img width="50px" height="30px" src=' alt='' />

Can you please help this

@FredrikOseberg Hello, thank you very much for this package. I have a question, I can't break lines within the bot's messages. <br / > and \n don't work. Can you tell me what I should do?

Hey @FredrikOseberg,

I am trying to add Arabic support to the chatbot. For that, I want to display chatbot messages on the right and user messages on the left. Could you please share if this part is dynamic? Can we access to show messages vice-versa?
