The Angular UIKit components work together to deliver a complete chat experience. The sections below map each core feature to the components that implement it, so you can quickly find the right building block for any capability.
Real-time text messaging is at the heart of CometChat. Users can send and receive instant messages, enabling quick and efficient communication in both one-on-one and group conversations.
Read Receipts provide visibility into message status, letting users know when a message has been delivered and read. This brings clarity to communication and sets expectations about engagement.
Mentions allow users to directly address specific individuals in a conversation using @username. The feature also supports @all to notify every member in a group chat simultaneously.
Threaded Conversations enable users to respond directly to a specific message, keeping discussions organized and maintaining context — especially useful in group chats.
Quoted Replies enable users to quickly reply to specific messages by selecting the “Reply” option from a message’s action menu. This enhances context, keeps conversations organized, and improves overall chat experience in both one-on-one and group chats.
Supports replying to messages via the “Reply” option. Users can select “Reply” on a message to open the composer with the quoted reply pre-filled, maintaining context.
Rich Text Formatting allows users to style their messages with bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, code, links, lists, and blockquotes. This brings richer expression to conversations and helps users emphasize key points, making communication clearer and more engaging.
