Usage

First, sign up at https://app.papercups.io/register to get your account token. Your account token is what you will use to pass in as the accountId prop below.

NB: make sure to pass in an external_id with the customer prop so that we can identify the person you're chatting with and load their message history if you've chatted with them before! (See below for an example)

You can render the chat widget however you like. Here's how you might do it in a modal:

import React from 'react';
import {StyleSheet, Button, View} from 'react-native';
import Modal from 'react-native-modal';
import ChatWidget from '@papercups-io/chat-widget-native';

export default function App() {
  const [isModalVisible, setModalVisible] = React.useState(false);

  return (
    <View style={{flex: 1, padding: 24}}>
      <Button title="Open chat" onPress={() => setModalVisible(true)} />

      <Modal
        isVisible={isModalVisible}
        onBackdropPress={() => setModalVisible(false)}
      >
        <View style={styles.modal}>
          <ChatWidget
            // Update this with your own account token!
            accountId="xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx"
            title="Welcome to Papercups!"
            subtitle="We'll reply as soon as we can 😊"
            greeting="Hi there! :wave: Have any questions?"
            customer={{
              // Update this with a unique identifer for the customer/user,
              // so that we can load the message history if you've chatted
              // with this person in the past!
              external_id: 'xxxxxxxx',
              email: 'alex@test.com',
              name: 'Alex',
            }}
          />
        </View>
      </Modal>
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  modal: {
    flex: 1,
    borderRadius: 4,
    overflow: 'hidden',
  },
});
