🚀 Usage

App

import { Button, Card } from "@livechat/design-system-react-components";
import type { AppConfig } from "@livechat/developer-sdk";
import { AppProvider, useApp } from "@livechat/developer-ui-react";

// import app config (aka. manifest) from proper location
// it can be downloaded using 'txdev app pull/clone' (@livechat/developer-cli)
import config from "./livechat.config.json";

function Component() {
  const { app } = useApp();

  return (
    <Card>
      <h1>App is now initialized and ready to use.</h1>
      <h2>Account ID: {app.authorization?.data?.account_id}</h2>
      <Button onClick={() => app.features.reports.sendError("4xx")}>
        Send error
      </Button>
    </Card>
  );
}

function Wrapper() {
  return (
    <AppProvider config={config as unknown as AppConfig}>
      <Component />
    </AppProvider>
  );
}

To be able to use useApp hook, Component must be wrapped with AppProvider. It takes config of your app (aka. manifest) and uses it to construct app instance, to run initialization and authorization (if needed) under the hood. If you don't have your app config (aka. manifest) yet, please refer to @livechat/developer-cli to see how use Text Platform Developer CLI to pull/clone your app.

Also, have a look at @livechat/developer-sdk to see how you can use app instance and its built-in features f.e. reporting.
