This package currently ships <copilotkit-threads-drawer> — a public, self-contained, controlled threads drawer. It is a pure VIEW: domain data flows in as properties and user intent flows out as DOM CustomEvents. It imports no React, Angular, or @copilotkit/core code and renders correctly in any host page, surviving hostile host CSS (all: unset, Tailwind preflight !important).

Install

npm install @copilotkit/web-components lit

lit is a peer/runtime dependency so the host dedupes a single Lit runtime.

Usage

import { defineCopilotKitThreadsDrawer } from "@copilotkit/web-components/threads-drawer";

defineCopilotKitThreadsDrawer(); // registers <copilotkit-threads-drawer> (idempotent)

<copilotkit-threads-drawer active-thread-id="t-123"></copilotkit-threads-drawer>
<script>
  const drawer = document.querySelector("copilotkit-threads-drawer");
  drawer.threads = [
    {
      id: "t-123",
      name: "My thread",
      archived: false,
      createdAt: "...",
      updatedAt: "...",
    },
  ];
  drawer.addEventListener("thread-selected", (e) => open(e.detail.threadId));
  drawer.addEventListener("new-thread", () => createThread());
</script>

Inbound properties (DOMAIN state — owned by the consumer)

property	type	notes
`threads`	`DrawerThread[]`	the element re-orders + filters authoritatively
`loading`	`boolean`	initial-fetch loading
`error`	`string \| null`	initial-fetch error → actionable Retry
`activeThreadId`	`string \| null`	drives selection highlight
`licensed`	`boolean`	`false` → upsell replaces the list
`fetchingMore`	`boolean`	in-flight pagination
`fetchMoreError`	`string \| null`	inline "couldn't load more — retry"
`open`	`boolean`	externally controllable (mobile coordination)
`collapsed`	`boolean`	desktop collapse-to-rail

Outbound events (INTENT — bubbling + composed `CustomEvent`s)

thread-selected, archive, unarchive, delete (after in-element confirm), new-thread, filter-change, open-change, retry ({ scope }), upsell.

The element owns VIEW state: open/collapsed, the Active/All filter, the confirm-delete dialog, and per-row entry/reveal animations.

Theming (hybrid)

CSS variables pierce the shadow boundary — set --cpk-drawer-* (-bg, -fg, -surface, -accent, -primary, -danger, -border, -ring, -radius, -width, -font-family, …) from the host.
::part() hooks on structural nodes (root, header, list, row, row-name, confirm-dialog, backdrop, …).
Named slots: header, footer, empty, upsell, memories, plus a per-row slot row:{id} that projects wrapper-provided row content while the element keeps the selection/archived/animation chrome around it.

The built-in default skin's token values are derived at build time from the canonical theme (packages/core/src/styles/css/theme.css) by scripts/generate-tokens.ts, which writes the checked-in src/threads-drawer/generated-tokens.ts. Run pnpm run gen:tokens to regenerate; generated-tokens.test.ts fails if the checked-in values drift from the theme.

At/below 768px the drawer is an off-canvas modal overlay with backdrop, Escape close, scroll-lock, and a focus trap (mobile only) that operates over the composed/flattened tree so slotted rows are included. On desktop it is an in-flow region with collapse-to-rail — not a modal (no focus trap, no scroll-lock).
