Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:
Installing Angular UI Kit
1. Setup
i. Register on CometChat 🔧
To install Angular UI Kit, you need to first register on CometChat Dashboard. Click here to sign up
ii. Get your Application Keys :key:
- Create a new app
- Head over to the Quick Start or API & Auth Keys section and note the
App ID
, Auth Key
, and Region
.
2. Configure CometChat inside your app
i. Import CometChat SDK
import { CometChat } from "@cometchat-pro/chat";
ii. Initialize CometChat 🌟
The init()
method initializes the settings required for CometChat.
We suggest calling the init()
method on app startup, preferably in the main.ts
, wrapping the platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule)
as shown below.
const appID = "APP_ID";
const region = "REGION";
const authKey = "AUTH_KEY"
const uiKitSettings = new UIKitSettingsBuilder()
.setAppId(appID)
.setRegion(region)
.setAuthKey(CauthKey)
.subscribePresenceForFriends()
.build();
CometChatUIKit.init(uiKitSettings)?.then(()=>{
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule)
.catch(err => console.error(err));
})
Note:
- Replace APP_ID , REGION and AUTH_KEY with your CometChat
App ID
, Region
and Auth Key
in the above code.
3. Add UI Kit to your project
- Install UIKit package from npm -
npm install @cometchat-pro/angular-ui-kit
- Import the Components in the respective module where the component will be used.
4. Launch Cometchat
Using the CometChatConversationsWithMessages
component from the UI Kit, you can launch a fully functional chat application.
In this component Chats and Messages are interlinked and work together to launch a fully functional chat on your website/application.
Import the CometChat in the required module
import { CometChatConversationsWithMessages } from '@cometchat-pro/angular-ui-kit'
<cometchat-conversations-with-messages>
</cometchat-conversations-with-messages>
