Overview

The @chainlit/react-client package provides a set of React hooks as well as an API client to connect to your Chainlit application from any React application. The package includes hooks for managing chat sessions, messages, data, and interactions.

​
Installation

To install the package, run the following command in your project directory: 
npm install @chainlit/react-client
This package uses Recoil to manage its state. This means you will have to wrap your application in a recoil provider: 
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import { RecoilRoot } from 'recoil';

import { ChainlitAPI, ChainlitContext } from '@chainlit/react-client';

const CHAINLIT_SERVER_URL = 'http://localhost:8000';

const apiClient = new ChainlitAPI(CHAINLIT_SERVER_URL, 'webapp');

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root') as HTMLElement).render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <ChainlitContext.Provider value={apiClient}>
      <RecoilRoot>
        <MyApp />
      </RecoilRoot>
    </ChainlitContext.Provider>
  </React.StrictMode>
);
