Install
npm install @syncagent/angular @syncagent/jsQuick Start
// app.component.ts
import { Component, OnInit } from "@angular/core";
import { SyncAgentService } from "@syncagent/angular";
import { environment } from "./environments/environment";
@Component({
selector: "app-root",
providers: [SyncAgentService],
template: `
<div class="chat">
<div *ngIf="agent.status() as s" class="status">⏳ {{ s.label }}</div>

export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
input = "";
constructor(public agent: SyncAgentService) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.agent.configure({
apiKey: environment.syncagentKey,
connectionString: environment.databaseUrl,
});
}
send() {
if (!this.input.trim()) return;

}
}Environment Setup
// environments/environment.ts
export const environment = {
production: false,
syncagentKey: "sa_your_api_key",
databaseUrl: "mongodb+srv://user:pass@cluster/db",
};⚠️ Security note: In production, pass the connection string from your backend API instead of bundling it in the client.
Multi-tenant SaaS
@Component({ providers: [SyncAgentService] })
export class DashboardComponent implements OnInit {
constructor(
public agent: SyncAgentService,
private authService: AuthService,
) {}
ngOnInit() {
const user = this.authService.currentUser;
this.agent.configure({
apiKey: environment.syncagentKey,
connectionString: environment.databaseUrl,
filter: { organizationId: user.orgId },
operations: user.isAdmin
? ["read", "create", "update", "delete"]
: ["read"],
context: { userId: user.id, userRole: user.role },
});
}
}Using RxJS Observables
import { Subject, takeUntil, filter } from "rxjs";
@Component({ providers: [SyncAgentService] })
export class ChatComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
private destroy$ = new Subject<void>();
constructor(public agent: SyncAgentService) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.agent.configure({ apiKey: "...", connectionString: "..." });
// Subscribe to messages stream
this.agent.messages$
.pipe(takeUntil(this.destroy$))
.subscribe(messages => console.log("Messages:", messages.length));
// Subscribe to each new assistant message
this.agent.message$
.pipe(takeUntil(this.destroy$))
.subscribe(msg => console.log("New:", msg.content.slice(0, 50)));
// Subscribe to status updates
this.agent.status$
.pipe(takeUntil(this.destroy$), filter(Boolean))
.subscribe(({ step, label }) => console.log(`[${step}] ${label}`));
}
ngOnDestroy() {
this.destroy$.next();
this.destroy$.complete();
}
}Custom Tools
this.agent.configure({
apiKey: environment.syncagentKey,
connectionString: environment.databaseUrl,
tools: {
sendEmail: {
description: "Send an email to a user",
inputSchema: {
to: { type: "string", description: "Recipient email" },
subject: { type: "string", description: "Subject line" },
body: { type: "string", description: "Email body" },
},
execute: async ({ to, subject, body }) => {
await this.emailService.send({ to, subject, body });
return { sent: true };
},
},
},
onData: (data) => {
if (data.collection === "orders") {
this.orders = data.data;
}
},
});Tools-only Mode
Use toolsOnly: true when you want the agent to only call your custom tools — no database access:
this.agent.configure({
apiKey: environment.syncagentKey,
toolsOnly: true,
tools: {
searchProducts: {
description: "Search products by name",
inputSchema: { query: { type: "string", description: "Search query" } },
execute: async ({ query }) => {
const res = await fetch(`/api/products?q=${query}`);
return res.json();
},
},
createTicket: {
description: "Create a support ticket",
inputSchema: {
title: { type: "string" },
message: { type: "string" },
},
execute: async ({ title, message }) => {
return await this.ticketService.create({ title, message });
},
},
},
});Customer Agent Mode
The CustomerChatService is a dedicated Angular service for building customer-facing support interfaces. It routes messages through SyncAgent's customer support pipeline — using your configured persona, flows, knowledge base, and escalation rules — instead of direct database access.
Provide it at the component or module level and call configure() before sending messages.
import { Component, OnInit } from "@angular/core";
import { CustomerChatService } from "@syncagent/angular";
import { environment } from "./environments/environment";
@Component({
selector: "app-support-widget",
providers: [CustomerChatService],
template: `
<div class="chat">
@if (chat.welcomeMessage()) {
<p class="welcome">{{ chat.welcomeMessage() }}</p>
}
<div class="messages">
@for (msg of chat.messages(); track msg.content) {
<div [class]="'message ' + msg.role">{{ msg.content }}</div>
}
</div>
@if (chat.isEscalated()) {
<p class="notice">You've been connected to a human agent.</p>
}
@if (chat.error() as err) {
<p class="error">{{ err.message }}</p>
}
<div class="input-row">
<input
[(ngModel)]="input"
(keydown.enter)="send()"
placeholder="How can we help?"
[disabled]="chat.isLoading()"
/>
<button (click)="send()" [disabled]="chat.isLoading() || !input.trim()">Send</button>
</div>
@if (chat.isResolved()) {
<div class="rating">
<p>How was your experience?</p>
<button *ngFor="let r of [1,2,3,4,5]" (click)="rate(r)">{{ r }}⭐</button>
</div>
}
</div>
`,
})
export class SupportWidgetComponent implements OnInit {
input = "";
constructor(public chat: CustomerChatService) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.chat.configure({
apiKey: environment.syncagentKey,
connectionString: environment.databaseUrl,
externalUserId: "user_abc123",
onEscalated: () => console.log("Escalated to human agent"),
onResolved: (id) => console.log("Conversation resolved:", id),
});
}
send() {
if (!this.input.trim()) return;
this.chat.sendMessage(this.input);
this.input = "";

}Angular Signals
| Signal | Type | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| messages() | Message[] | Conversation message history |
| conversationId() | string \| null | Current conversation ID |
| isLoading() | boolean | True while waiting for a response |
| isEscalated() | boolean | True when escalated to a human agent |
| isResolved() | boolean | True when the conversation is resolved |
| error() | Error \| null | Last error, if any |
| welcomeMessage() | string \| null | Welcome message (first interaction only) |
| isConfigured() | boolean | True after configure() has been called |
RxJS Observables
| Observable | Type | Description |
|------------|------|-------------|
| messages$ | Observable<Message[]> | Conversation history stream |
| isLoading$ | Observable<boolean> | Loading state stream |
| error$ | Observable<Error \| null> | Error stream |
| escalated$ | Observable<void> | Emits when escalated to a human agent |
| resolved$ | Observable<string> | Emits the conversation ID when resolved |
CustomerChatServiceConfig
Extends SyncAgentConfig with customer-mode-specific options:
| Property | Type | Description |
|----------|------|-------------|
| apiKey | string | Your SyncAgent API key |
| connectionString | string | Database connection string |
| customerMode | true | Enables customer agent mode |
| externalUserId | string | Unique identifier for the end-user |
| onEscalated | () => void | Optional callback when escalated to a human agent |
| onResolved | (conversationId: string) => void | Optional callback when the conversation is resolved |
Methods
| Method | Signature | Description |
|--------|-----------|-------------|
| configure(config) | configure(config: CustomerChatServiceConfig): void | Initialize the service with customer mode config. Must be called before other methods. |
| sendMessage(content, metadata?) | sendMessage(content: string, metadata?: Record<string, any>): Promise<void> | Send a message and receive an AI response. Ignored if content is empty or already loading. |
| rateConversation(rating) | rateConversation(rating: number): Promise<void> | Rate the current conversation (1-5). Throws if no active conversation. |
| reset() | reset(): void | Clear all state (messages, conversation ID, errors) and start fresh. |
Guest Identification
When no externalUserId is provided, the CustomerChatService activates the guest identification flow. Guests must identify themselves before sending messages. The service exposes Angular signals and RxJS observables for reactive state management.
Signals & Observables
| Signal / Observable | Type | Description |
|---------------------|------|-------------|
| isIdentified() | Signal<boolean> | true when the guest has been identified (via form or stored identity) |
| guestIdentity() | Signal<GuestIdentity \| null> | The current guest identity, or null if not yet identified |
| isIdentified$ | Observable<boolean> | Emits the current identification state (BehaviorSubject) |
| guestIdentified$ | Observable<GuestIdentity> | Emits the GuestIdentity when identification completes |
identifyGuest(data)
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| name | string | Yes | Guest's display name |
| email | string | Yes | Guest's email address |
| phone | string | No | Guest's phone number |
Validates input, generates a deterministic guest identifier from the email, persists the identity to localStorage, updates signals/observables, and invokes the onGuestIdentified callback if configured.
Template Usage with Signals
import { Component, OnInit } from "@angular/core";
import { FormsModule } from "@angular/forms";
import { CustomerChatService } from "@syncagent/angular";
import { environment } from "./environments/environment";
@Component({
selector: "app-support-widget",
providers: [CustomerChatService],
imports: [FormsModule],
template: `
@if (!chat.isIdentified()) {
<form (ngSubmit)="identify()">
<h2>Welcome</h2>

constructor(public chat: CustomerChatService) {}
ngOnInit() {

}
}Reactive Handling with guestIdentified$
import { Component, OnInit, OnDestroy } from "@angular/core";
import { Subject, takeUntil } from "rxjs";
import { CustomerChatService } from "@syncagent/angular";
import { environment } from "./environments/environment";
@Component({
selector: "app-guest-chat",
providers: [CustomerChatService],
template: `<!-- ... -->`,
})
export class GuestChatComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
private destroy$ = new Subject<void>();
constructor(public chat: CustomerChatService) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.chat.configure({
apiKey: environment.syncagentKey,
connectionString: environment.databaseUrl,
});
// React to guest identification
this.chat.guestIdentified$
.pipe(takeUntil(this.destroy$))
.subscribe((identity) => {
console.log(`Guest ${identity.name} identified as ${identity.guestId}`);
// e.g., send analytics event, update UI state
});
// Track identification state changes
this.chat.isIdentified$
.pipe(takeUntil(this.destroy$))
.subscribe((identified) => {
console.log("Identification state:", identified);
});
}
ngOnDestroy() {
this.destroy$.next();
this.destroy$.complete();
}
}Dual Mode (Database + Customer Agent)
⚠️ Deprecated:
createDual()will be removed in a future major version. UseDualChatServiceinstead — passexternalUserIddirectly to enable both modes on a single instance.
Legacy pattern (deprecated):
import { Component, OnInit } from "@angular/core";
import { SyncAgentClient } from "@syncagent/js";
import { SyncAgentService, CustomerChatService } from "@syncagent/angular";
import { environment } from "./environments/environment";
@Component({
selector: "app-dual-chat",
providers: [SyncAgentService, CustomerChatService],
template: `<!-- admin + customer UIs -->`,
})
export class DualChatComponent implements OnInit {
constructor(
public admin: SyncAgentService,
public support: CustomerChatService,
) {}
ngOnInit() {
const { db, support } = SyncAgentClient.createDual({
apiKey: environment.syncagentKey,
connectionString: environment.databaseUrl,
externalUserId: "customer_123",
});
// Admin: direct database queries
this.admin.configure({
apiKey: environment.syncagentKey,
connectionString: environment.databaseUrl,
});
// Customer: support pipeline
this.support.configure({
apiKey: environment.syncagentKey,
connectionString: environment.databaseUrl,
customerMode: true,
externalUserId: "customer_123",
});
}
}Before (deprecated):
const { db, support } = SyncAgentClient.createDual({
apiKey: environment.syncagentKey,
connectionString: environment.databaseUrl,
externalUserId: "customer_123",
});After (recommended):
import { DualChatService } from "@syncagent/angular";
@Component({
providers: [DualChatService],
})
export class DualChatComponent implements OnInit {
constructor(public dual: DualChatService) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.dual.configure({
apiKey: environment.syncagentKey,
connectionString: environment.databaseUrl,
externalUserId: "customer_123",
});
}
}Tip: In Angular, you can also use
createDual()to get both client instances and pass them to your services' internal logic, or simply configure each service independently as shown above.
Unified Dual Mode
The DualChatService provides a single injectable service that manages both database agent and customer support chat from one component. Instead of wiring up SyncAgentService and CustomerChatService separately, inject DualChatService and call configure() with your config including externalUserId — both modes become available immediately.
import { Component, OnInit } from "@angular/core";
import { DualChatService } from "@syncagent/angular";
import { environment } from "./environments/environment";
@Component({
selector: "app-dual-chat",
providers: [DualChatService],
template: `
<div class="dual-chat">
<section class="db-panel">
<h3>Database Agent</h3>
<div class="messages">
@for (msg of dual.dbMessages(); track msg.content) {
<div [class]="'message ' + msg.role">{{ msg.content }}</div>
}
</div>
@if (dual.dbError() as err) {
<p class="error">{{ err.message }}</p>
}
<div class="input-row">
<input
[(ngModel)]="dbInput"
(keydown.enter)="sendDb()"
placeholder="Ask about your data..."
[disabled]="dual.dbIsLoading()"
/>
<button (click)="sendDb()" [disabled]="dual.dbIsLoading() || !dbInput.trim()">Send</button>
</div>
</section>
<section class="support-panel">
<h3>Customer Support</h3>
<div class="messages">
@for (msg of dual.supportMessages(); track msg.content) {
<div [class]="'message ' + msg.role">{{ msg.content }}</div>
}
</div>
@if (dual.supportIsEscalated()) {
<p class="notice">Connected to a human agent.</p>
}
@if (dual.supportError() as err) {
<p class="error">{{ err.message }}</p>
}
<div class="input-row">
<input
[(ngModel)]="supportInput"
(keydown.enter)="sendSupport()"
placeholder="How can we help?"
[disabled]="dual.supportIsLoading()"
/>
<button (click)="sendSupport()" [disabled]="dual.supportIsLoading() || !supportInput.trim()">Send</button>
</div>
</section>
</div>
`,
})
export class DualChatComponent implements OnInit {
dbInput = "";
supportInput = "";
constructor(public dual: DualChatService) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.dual.configure({
apiKey: environment.syncagentKey,
connectionString: environment.databaseUrl,
externalUserId: "user_abc123",
onEscalated: () => console.log("Escalated to human agent"),
onResolved: (id) => console.log("Resolved:", id),
});
}
sendDb() {
if (!this.dbInput.trim()) return;
this.dual.sendDbMessage(this.dbInput);
this.dbInput = "";
}
sendSupport() {
if (!this.supportInput.trim()) return;
this.dual.sendSupportMessage(this.supportInput);
this.supportInput = "";
}
}Error Handling
If sendDbMessage(), sendSupportMessage(), stop(), or reset() is called before configure(), the service throws:
DualChatService: call configure() firstIf sendSupportMessage() is called without externalUserId in the config, the service throws:
DualChatService: externalUserId is required for customer chatAngular Signals

Code Examples
Basic template usage:
@Component({
imports: [SyncAgentCustomerChatComponent],
template: `
<syncagent-customer-chat
[apiKey]="'sa_your_api_key'"
[connectionString]="'postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/db'"
[externalUserId]="currentUser.id"
/>
`,
})
export class SupportPageComponent {
currentUser = { id: "user_123" };
}Using a config object:
import { SyncAgentConfig } from "@syncagent/js";
@Component({
imports: [SyncAgentCustomerChatComponent],
template: `<syncagent-customer-chat [config]="chatConfig" />`,
})
export class SupportPageComponent {
chatConfig: SyncAgentConfig = {
apiKey: "sa_your_api_key",
connectionString: "postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/db",
customerMode: true,
externalUserId: "user_123",
};
}Floating mode (default):
<syncagent-customer-chat
[apiKey]="apiKey"
[connectionString]="connectionString"
mode="floating"
position="bottom-right"
[defaultOpen]="false"
/>Inline mode:
<div style="height: 600px;">
<syncagent-customer-chat
[apiKey]="apiKey"
[connectionString]="connectionString"
mode="inline"
/>
</div>Dark mode with custom accent color:
<syncagent-customer-chat
[apiKey]="apiKey"
[connectionString]="connectionString"
[darkMode]="true"
accentColor="#8b5cf6"
title="Night Owl Support"
subtitle="We're here around the clock"
/>Handling output events:
@Component({
imports: [SyncAgentCustomerChatComponent],
template: `
<syncagent-customer-chat
[apiKey]="apiKey"
[connectionString]="connectionString"
(escalated)="onEscalated()"
(resolved)="onResolved($event)"
(guestIdentified)="onGuestIdentified($event)"
/>
`,
})
export class SupportComponent {
apiKey = "sa_your_api_key";
connectionString = "postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/db";
onEscalated() {
console.log("Conversation escalated to human agent");
}
onResolved(conversationId: string) {
console.log("Conversation resolved:", conversationId);
}
onGuestIdentified(identity: GuestIdentity) {
console.log("Guest identified:", identity.name, identity.guestId);
}
}CustomerChatService
The CustomerChatService is the underlying service used by the component. You can also use it directly to build fully custom chat UI while keeping the state management and API integration.
Provide it at the component level so each instance gets its own state:
import { CustomerChatService } from "@syncagent/angular";
@Component({
providers: [CustomerChatService],
template: `<!-- your custom UI -->`,
})
export class CustomChatComponent implements OnInit {
constructor(public chat: CustomerChatService) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.chat.configure({
apiKey: "sa_your_api_key",
connectionString: "postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/db",
externalUserId: "user_123",
onEscalated: () => console.log("Escalated"),
onResolved: (id) => console.log("Resolved:", id),
});
}
}Methods
| Method | Signature | Description |
|--------|-----------|-------------|
| configure | configure(config: CustomerChatServiceConfig): void | Initialize the service. Must be called before other methods. |
| sendMessage | sendMessage(content: string, metadata?: Record<string, any>): Promise<void> | Send a message and receive an AI response. Ignored if empty or already loading. |
| rateConversation | rateConversation(rating: number): Promise<void> | Rate the conversation (1–5). Throws if no active conversation. |
| identifyGuest | identifyGuest(data: { name: string; email: string; phone?: string }): void | Submit guest identification. Validates, generates ID, persists to localStorage. |
| reset | reset(): void | Clear all state and start fresh. |

Theming
The component uses the shared theme engine (computeTheme() from @syncagent/js) to generate a full color palette from your accent color and dark mode flag.
Accent color — Set the accentColor input to any valid CSS color (hex, rgb, hsl). This controls buttons, user message bubbles, focus outlines, and the header background.
<syncagent-customer-chat accentColor="#8b5cf6" />Dark mode — Set [darkMode]="true" to switch to a dark color scheme. All generated colors maintain WCAG AA contrast ratios.
<syncagent-customer-chat [darkMode]="true" />Host element classes — Use the className input to add CSS classes to the root container for additional styling:
<syncagent-customer-chat className="my-chat-widget" />.my-chat-widget {
/* Override positioning, sizing, or add transitions */
max-height: 80vh;
}The component uses inline styles and scoped CSS class prefixes (syncagent-cc-*) to prevent style leakage in both directions. A CSS custom property --syncagent-accent is set on focus-visible styles for focus indicator theming.
Accessibility
The component is built to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards:
ARIA roles and labels:
- Container:
role="region"witharia-label="Customer support chat" - Chat message list:
role="log"witharia-live="polite"andaria-relevant="additions" - Message input form:
role="form"witharia-label="Message input" - Rating widget:
role="group"witharia-label="Rate your experience" - Rating stars:
role="radiogroup"with individualrole="radio"andaria-checked - Escalation banner:
role="status"witharia-live="polite" - Toggle button:
aria-expandedreflecting panel state
Keyboard navigation:
Tabmoves focus through interactive elements (toggle, close, input, send, rating stars)Enter/Spaceactivates buttons and submits formsArrow Left/Arrow Rightnavigates between rating stars (roving tabindex)Enteron the text input submits the message
Focus management:
- When the guest form transitions to the chat panel, focus moves to the message input within 100ms
- All interactive elements have visible focus indicators (2px outline)
Contrast requirements:
- All text-on-background pairs meet a minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio
- Focus indicators meet a minimum 3:1 contrast ratio against adjacent colors
- The theme engine enforces these guarantees regardless of the accent color provided
