Installation

The recommended way of installing Components is to install it with a package manager.

If you use JavaScript without a build step and this is not possible, you can include our libraries in your HTML <head> tag.

Install with a package manager

If you're using React, install the @talkjs/react-components package, along with react and react-dom:

1npm install @talkjs/react-components react react-dom

If you're using another framework, install the @talkjs/web-components package instead:

1npm install @talkjs/web-components

Import these packages into the component where you have your chat UI:

1import { Chatbox } from '@talkjs/react-components';
2import '@talkjs/react-components/default.css';

Include as scripts

We suggest installing Components with a package manager, but if this is not possible you can include our libraries as scripts.

You can use one of our pre-built themes, and edit the CSS if you want to make changes to the styling. If you want to customize the behavior of the components, you will need to use a package manager.

Use a pre-built theme

Include the components and default theme's CSS in the <head> tag of the HTML page where you want to add your chat UI:

1<link
2  rel="stylesheet"
3  href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@talkjs/[email protected]/default.css"
4/>
5<script
6  src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@talkjs/[email protected]"
7  async
8></script>
