Styling

The components support two styling modes:

1. Default Style

Clean, neutral design with light/dark mode support using CSS custom properties.

2. Hypermode Style

Dark mode with purple accents designed for AI applications.

Enable Hypermode styling by setting hypermodeStyle={true} on components:

<ChatInterface hypermodeStyle={true} />
<ChatBubble hypermodeStyle={true} />
<ToolCallDisplay hypermodeStyle={true} />
<CardDisplay hypermodeStyle={true} />
<Avatar hypermodeStyle={true} />

CSS Import

Include the base styles in your application:

// Import styles directly
import "@aichatkit/ui/dist/base.css"

// Or use the path constant
import { CHATKIT_CSS_PATH } from "@aichatkit/ui"

Tailwind CSS Integration

If using Tailwind CSS, add the component paths to your content configuration:

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  content: [
    // ... your content
    "node_modules/@aichatkit/ui/dist/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}",
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {
      colors: {
        hypermode: {
          bg: "#121212",
          card: "#1c1c1c",
          border: "#2a2a2a",
          hover: "#282828",
          input: "#222222",
          accent: "#9333ea",
          "accent-light": "#a855f7",
        },
      },
    },
  },
  plugins: [],
}

Advanced Usage

Custom Avatars

import { User, Bot } from "lucide-react"
;<ChatInterface
  userAvatar={
    <div className="w-8 h-8 bg-blue-500 rounded-full flex items-center justify-center">
      <User size={16} className="text-white" />
    </div>
  }
  assistantAvatar={
    <div className="w-8 h-8 bg-purple-500 rounded-full flex items-center justify-center">
      <Bot size={16} className="text-white" />
    </div>
  }
/>

Custom Header

<ChatInterface
  headerContent={
    <div className="p-4 border-b flex items-center justify-between">
      <h1>My AI Assistant</h1>
      <button>Settings</button>
    </div>
  }
/>

Card Action Handling

<ChatInterface
  onCardAction={(action) => {
    switch (action.action) {
      case "show_forecast":
        // Handle forecast action
        showForecast(action.data?.location)
        break
      case "search_web":
        // Handle web search
        performSearch(action.data?.query)
        break
      default:
        if (action.type === "link") {
          window.open(action.action, "_blank")
        }
    }
  }}
/>

Custom Text Area

Replace the default input with a custom text area using the inputAreaContent prop:

<ChatInterface
  networkAdapter={networkAdapter}
  storageAdapter={storageAdapter}
  inputAreaContent={(context) => (
    <div className="border-t p-4 bg-white">
      <div className="flex items-end gap-2">
        <textarea
          value={context.input}
          onChange={(e) => context.setInput(e.target.value)}
          placeholder={context.inputPlaceholder}
          className="flex-1 max-h-32 min-h-[40px] resize-none rounded-lg border border-gray-300 px-3 py-2 focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-blue-500"
          onKeyDown={(e) => {
            if (e.key === "Enter" && !e.shiftKey) {
              e.preventDefault()
              context.sendMessage(context.input)
              context.setInput("")
            }
          }}
        />
        <Button
          onClick={() => {
            context.sendMessage(context.input)
            context.setInput("")
          }}
          disabled={context.loading || !context.input.trim()}
        >
          {context.sendButtonIcon}
        </Button>
      </div>
    </div>
  )}
/>

Handling Different Response Items

import { ResponseItemList } from "@aichatkit/ui"

function CustomChatArea({ items }) {
  return (
    <ResponseItemList
      items={items}
      hypermodeStyle={true}
      onCardAction={(action) => {
        // Handle card actions
        console.log("Card action:", action)
      }}
      userAvatar={<Avatar initial="U" role="user" hypermodeStyle={true} />}
      assistantAvatar={<Avatar initial="A" hypermodeStyle={true} />}
    />
  )
}
