Overview
The Angular Chat UI is a lightweight and highly customizable component designed for creating modern chat interfaces. It displays conversations between two or more users, offering powerful features like real-time typing indicators, on-demand message loading, message suggestions, and a great user experience.
Angular Chat UI Code Example
Easily get started with the Angular Chat UI using a few simple lines of TS code example as demonstrated below. Also explore our Angular Chat UI Example that shows you how to render and configure the Chat UI in Angular.
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { ChatUIModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-interactive-chat';
import { UserModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-interactive-chat';
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
imports: [ FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule, ChatUIModule ],
standalone: true,
selector: 'app-root',
// specifies the template string for the Chat UI component
template: `<div id="chatui" ejs-chatui [user]="currentUserModel">
<e-messages>
<e-message text="Hi Michale, are we on track for the deadline?" [author]="currentUserModel"></e-message>
<e-message text="Yes, the design phase is complete." [author]="michaleUserModel"></e-message>
<e-message text="I’ll review it and send feedback by today." [author]="currentUserModel"></e-message>
</e-messages>
</div>`
})
export class AppComponent {
public currentUserModel: UserModel = { user: 'Albert', id: 'user1' };
public michaleUserModel: UserModel = { user: 'Michale Suyama', id: 'user2' };
}
export default Default;Messages
The Chat UI supports binding data from real-time data streaming services, enabling seamless updates to the chat interface. It supports user avatars and timestamps, with current user messages aligned to the right for clarity. If an avatar image is not provided, fallback text is displayed using the initials of the user’s first and last name.
Message status
To enhance communication, the Chat UI allows setting a status for each message. You can also define custom statuses, such as sent, delivered, and read, along with corresponding icons and tooltips.
Suggestions
The Chat UI offers dynamic message suggestions to enhance user engagement and streamline conversations. Customizable suggestions, such as quick replies or predefined templates allow users to respond and take action within the chat.
Time break
The time break in the Chat UI automatically inserts breaks between messages based on the time, organizing conversations by date. This enhances readability by visually grouping messages, making it easier for users to follow the conversation.
Typing indicator
The typing indicator displays real-time updates when a user is typing a message. It enhances user interaction by signaling activity, creating a responsive and engaging chat experience.
Header toolbar
The header toolbar allows the addition of custom items to the header area, enabling actions like initiating a call, starting a new chat, or accessing chat settings. It offers extensive customization options, including adjusting toolbar item icons, text, alignment, and other settings to suit the needs.
On-demand messages loading
On-demand message loading allows messages to be loaded dynamically, improving performance and reducing load times, particularly in long conversations. This ensures a smooth user experience by only fetching messages as needed rather than loading the entire conversation at once.
File attachments
Users can upload and send files images, documents, and more right inside your conversations to enjoy seamless sharing without leaving the chat window. This improves collaboration by keeping messages and files together.
Message options
Enhance user interaction with intuitive message-level actions that make conversations more engaging and organized by using the built-in options like copy, reply, pin, and delete.
Copying message
The copy option allows users to quickly duplicate the content of any message, making it easy to reference or reuse important information across conversations or applications.
Replying message
The reply option enables users to respond directly to a specific message, preserving context and creating a threaded conversation flow that enhances clarity and engagement.
Pin message
The pin option highlights important messages by keeping them fixed and easily accessible, helping users quickly revisit key information without scrolling through the chat.
Delete message
The delete option allows users to remove messages from the conversation, helping maintain a clean and focused chat environment by eliminating unnecessary or outdated content.
Forward message
The forward option lets users share messages across different chats, clearly marking them as forwarded to maintain transparency and streamline content redistribution.
Templates
Supports templates for customizing the empty conversation area, messages, typing indicator, and more. These templates allow users to create a unique, personalized chat experience that integrates seamlessly into their applications.
Empty chat template
The empty chat template allows customization of the chat interface when no messages are displayed. Personalized content, such as welcome messages or images can be added to create an engaging and inviting experience for users starting a conversation.
Message template
The message template provides flexibility to customize the appearance and styling of each message. Modify text styling, layout, and other design elements to ensure a personalized chat experience.
Time break template
Customize how time breaks are displayed with the time break template, such as showing “today,” “yesterday,” or specific dates. This enhances conversation organization by clearly separating messages based on time, improving readability and user experience.
Typing indicator template
The typing indicator template customizes the display of users currently typing a message. It allows the styling and positioning of the typing indicator, enhancing the user experience.
Footer template
Use the footer template to customize the default footer area and manage message send actions with a personalized design. This flexibility allows users to create unique footers that meet their specific needs.
Built-in themes
The Angular Chat UI supports these built-in themes: Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap 5, Bootstrap 4, Bootstrap, Material, Fabric, Fluent, and high contrast. Users can customize these built-in themes or create new themes to achieve their desired look and feel by overriding SASS variables or using the Theme Studio application.
Accessibility
- Full support for WAI-ARIA accessibility practices for screen readers and assistive devices.
- UI visual elements such as foreground color, background color, line spacing, text, and images are designed based on WCAG 2.0 standards.
- Right-to-left (RTL) text direction can be set for users of RTL languages like Hebrew, Arabic, or Persian.
Developer-friendly APIs
The Angular Chat UI component offers APIs and templates for customizing its appearance and behavior. With these APIs, developers can create a unique and highly customized Chat UI that fits seamlessly into their applications.
