@aipexstudio/aipex-react

React UI toolkit for building AIPex-powered chat and extension experiences.

This package depends on @aipexstudio/aipex-core only (no browser-specific runtime code). It provides:

• Chat UI: <Chatbot /> and related components, slots, and themes
• Headless primitives: useChat, ChatAdapter (convert core AgentEvent streams into UI messages)
• Settings UI + persistence: <SettingsPage />, useChatConfig (storage via KeyValueStorage)
• Extension building blocks: <ContentScript />, <Omni />, intervention cards, fake mouse cursor
• Optional submodules: i18n provider and theme provider (via package subpath exports)

Design notes

• Core-first: UI consumes AgentEvent from @aipexstudio/aipex-core and does not assume a runtime.
• Storage abstraction: persistence is done through KeyValueStorage (localStorage by default; can be swapped for chrome.storage, IndexedDB, etc).
• Streaming UX: the adapter + hooks are built around incremental updates and tool lifecycle states.
• Customization: compose your UI with component overrides and slots, and style via CSS variables.

Installation

npm install @aipexstudio/aipex-react @aipexstudio/aipex-core
# or
pnpm add @aipexstudio/aipex-react @aipexstudio/aipex-core

Peer dependencies:

• react
• react-dom

Quick start (drop-in Chatbot)

import { google } from "@ai-sdk/google";
import { AIPex, aisdk } from "@aipexstudio/aipex-core";
import { Chatbot } from "@aipexstudio/aipex-react";

const agent = AIPex.create({
  instructions: "You are a helpful assistant.",
  model: aisdk(google("gemini-2.5-flash")),
});

export function App() {
  return <Chatbot agent={agent} />;
}

Usage

1) Headless chat (useChat)

useChat is a rendering-free hook for building your own UI.

import { useChat } from "@aipexstudio/aipex-react";

export function MyChat({ agent }: { agent: any }) {
  const { messages, status, sendMessage, interrupt, reset, regenerate } = useChat(agent);

  return (
    <div>
      <div>Status: {status}</div>
      <pre>{JSON.stringify(messages, null, 2)}</pre>
      <button onClick={() => sendMessage("Hello!")}>Send</button>
      <button onClick={() => regenerate()}>Regenerate</button>
      <button onClick={() => interrupt()}>Interrupt</button>
      <button onClick={() => reset()}>Reset</button>
    </div>
  );
}

2) Themes (Chatbot CSS variables)

The Chatbot uses CSS variables to keep theming predictable and framework-friendly. Built-in themes:

• defaultTheme
• darkTheme
• minimalTheme
• colorfulTheme

You can also build your own theme:

import { Chatbot, createTheme } from "@aipexstudio/aipex-react";

const myTheme = createTheme({
  className: "my-chat",
  variables: {
    "--chatbot-primary": "hsl(262 83% 58%)",
    "--chatbot-radius": "12px",
  },
});

export function App({ agent }: { agent: any }) {
  return <Chatbot agent={agent} theme={myTheme} />;
}

3) Customize components and slots

Chatbot supports:

• Component overrides (replace structural components)
• Slots (inject custom UI fragments like tool display, message actions, etc.)

import { Chatbot } from "@aipexstudio/aipex-react";

export function App({ agent }: { agent: any }) {
  return (
    <Chatbot
      agent={agent}
      slots={{
        messageActions: ({ message }) => <button onClick={() => console.log(message.id)}>Log</button>,
      }}
    />
  );
}

4) Settings persistence (useChatConfig) and <SettingsPage />

useChatConfig loads/saves AppSettings using a KeyValueStorage adapter.

• Default storage: localStorage-backed adapter
• Extension storage: pass any KeyValueStorage (e.g. ChromeStorageAdapter from @aipexstudio/browser-runtime)

import { SettingsPage } from "@aipexstudio/aipex-react";
import { chromeStorageAdapter } from "@aipexstudio/browser-runtime";

export function Options() {
  return <SettingsPage storageAdapter={chromeStorageAdapter} />;
}

5) i18n and theme providers (subpath exports)

This package exposes i18n + theme contexts via subpath exports:

• @aipexstudio/aipex-react/i18n/context
• @aipexstudio/aipex-react/theme/context

import { ChromeStorageAdapter } from "@aipexstudio/browser-runtime";
import { I18nProvider } from "@aipexstudio/aipex-react/i18n/context";
import { ThemeProvider } from "@aipexstudio/aipex-react/theme/context";
import type { Language } from "@aipexstudio/aipex-react/i18n/types";
import type { Theme } from "@aipexstudio/aipex-react/theme/types";
import { Chatbot } from "@aipexstudio/aipex-react";

const i18nStorage = new ChromeStorageAdapter<Language>();
const themeStorage = new ChromeStorageAdapter<Theme>();

export function App({ agent }: { agent: any }) {
  return (
    <I18nProvider storageAdapter={i18nStorage}>
      <ThemeProvider storageAdapter={themeStorage}>
        <Chatbot agent={agent} />
      </ThemeProvider>
    </I18nProvider>
  );
}

6) Content script UI (<ContentScript />) and plugins

ContentScript is an extensible component for browser extension content scripts. It:

• mounts an Omni-like UI (default or custom)
• hosts plugins with a shared state + event bus
• integrates with chrome.runtime-like message passing (when available)

import { ContentScript, type ContentScriptPlugin } from "@aipexstudio/aipex-react";

const loggerPlugin: ContentScriptPlugin = {
  name: "logger",
  setup: (ctx) => {
    ctx.state.loggerReady = true;
  },
  onMessage: async (message, ctx) => {
    console.log("[content-script message]", message);
    ctx.emit("debug:message", message);
  },
  onEvent: (event, data) => {
    if (event === "debug:message") {
      console.log("[content-script event]", data);
    }
  },
};

export function InjectedUI() {
  return <ContentScript plugins={[loggerPlugin]} initialOpen={false} />;
}
