23 Sep 202412 minutes to read

The Essential JS 2 for JavaScript (global script) is an ES5 formatted pure JavaScript framework which can be directly used in latest web browsers.

Dependencies

The list of dependencies required to use the AI AssistView control in your application is given as follows:

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-interactive-chat
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-navigations
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-inputs

Control Initialization

The JavaScript (ES5) AI AssistView control can be initialized by using either of the following ways.

Using local script and style references in a HTML page.
Using CDN link for script and style reference.

Using local script and style references in a HTML page

Step 1: Create an app folder quickstart for getting started.

Step 2: You can get the global scripts and styles from the Essential Studio JavaScript (Essential JS 2) build installed location.

Syntax:

Dependency Script: **(installed location)**\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\{DEPENDENCY_PACKAGE_NAME}\dist\global\{DEPENDENCY_PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Control Script: **(installed location)**\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\{PACKAGE_NAME}\dist\global\{PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Dependency Styles: **(installed location)**\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\{DEPENDENCY_PACKAGE_NAME}\styles\material.css

Control Styles: **(installed location)**\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\{PACKAGE_NAME}\styles\material.css

Example:

Dependency Script: C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\16.3.0.17\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2-base\dist\global\ej2-base.min.js

Control Script: C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\16.3.0.17\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2-interactive-chat\dist\global\ej2-interactive-chat.min.js

Dependency Styles: C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\16.3.0.17\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2-base\styles\material.css

Control Styles: C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\16.3.0.17\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2-interactive-chat\styles\material.css

The below located script and style file contains all Syncfusion JavaScript (ES5) UI control resources in a single file.

Scripts: **(installed location)**\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2\dist\ej2.min.js

Styles: **(installed location)**\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2\material.css

The Custom Resource Generator (CRG) is an online web tool, which can be used to generate the custom script and styles for a set of specific controls. This web tool is useful to combine the required control scripts and styles in a single file.

Step 3: Create a folder ~/quickstart/resources and copy/paste the global scripts and styles from the above installed location to ~/quickstart/resources/package corresponding package location.

Step 4: Create a HTML page (index.html) in ~/quickstart/index.html location and add the Essentials JS 2 script and style references.

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
       <head>
            <title>JavaScript (ES5)</title>
            <!-- JavaScript (ES5) AI AssistView's dependency style -->
            <link href="resources/base/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

            <!-- JavaScript (ES5) AI AssistView's control style -->
            <link href="resources/interactive-chat/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

            <!-- JavaScript (ES5) AI AssistView's dependency global script -->
            <script src="resources/base/ej2-base.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

            <!-- JavaScript (ES5) AI AssistView's control global script -->
            <script src="resources/interactive-chat/ej2-interactive-chat.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       </head>
       <body>
       </body>
  </html>

Step 5: Now, add the AI AssistView element and initiate the JavaScript (ES5) AI AssistView control in the index.html by using following code

[src/index.html]

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
       <head>
          <title>JavaScript (ES5)</title>
          <!-- JavaScript (ES5) AI AssistView's dependency style -->
          <link href="resources/base/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

          <!-- JavaScript (ES5) AI AssistView's control style -->
          <link href="resources/interactive-chat/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

          <!-- JavaScript (ES5) AI AssistView's dependency global script -->
          <script src="resources/base/ej2-base.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

          <!-- JavaScript (ES5) AI AssistView's control global script -->
          <script src="resources/interactive-chat/ej2-interactive-chat.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       </head>
       <body>
            <!-- Add the HTML <div> defaultAssist  -->
          <div class="aiassist-container" style="height: 300px; width: 500px;">
            <div id="defaultAssist"></div>
        </div>
          <script>
                // Initializes the AI Assist control
                var aiAssistView = new ej.interactivechat.AIAssistView({});

                    // Render initialized AI Assist.
                aiAssistView.appendTo('#defaultAssist');
          </script>
       </body>
  </html>

Step 6: Now, run the index.html in web browser, it will render the Syncfusion JavaScript (ES5) AI AssistView control.

Using CDN link for script and style reference

Step 1: Create an app folder quickstart for getting started.

Step 2: The JavaScript (ES5) control’s global scripts and styles are already hosted in the below CDN link formats.

Syntax:

Dependency Script: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/{DEPENDENCY_PACKAGE_NAME}/dist/global/{PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Control Script: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/{PACKAGE_NAME}/dist/global/{PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Dependency Styles: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/{DEPENDENCY_PACKAGE_NAME}/styles/material.css

Control Styles: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/{PACKAGE_NAME}/styles/material.css

Example:

Script: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/ej2-interactive-chat/dist/global/ej2-interactive-chat.min.js

Styles: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/ej2-interactive-chat/styles/material.css

Step 3: Create a HTML page (index.html) in ~/quickstart/index.html location and add the CDN link references. Now, add the AI AssistView element and initiate the JavaScript (ES5) AI AssistView control in the index.html by using following code.

index.js
index.html
ej.base.enableRipple(true);

// Initializes the AI Assist control
var aiAssistView = new ej.interactivechat.AIAssistView({});

// Render initialized AI Assist.
aiAssistView.appendTo('#defaultAssist');

<body>
    <div id='loader'>Loading....</div>
    <div id='container' style="height: 350px; width: 650px;">
        <div id="defaultAssist"></div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Step 4: Now, run the index.html in web browser, it will render the Syncfusion JavaScript AI AssistView control.

Configure suggestions and responses

You can use the promptSuggestions property to add prompt suggestions and the promptRequest event to add responses when the prompt matches the specified prompts data otherwise, the default response will be displayed.

index.js
index.html
ej.base.enableRipple(true);

// Initializes the AI Assist control
var defaultAIAssistView = new ej.interactivechat.AIAssistView({
    promptSuggestions: [
        "How do I prioritize my tasks?",
        "How can I improve my time management skills?"
    ],
    promptRequest: onPromptRequest
});

// Render initialized AI Assist.
defaultAIAssistView.appendTo('#defaultAssist');

var prompts = [
    {
        prompt: "How do I prioritize my tasks?",
        response: "Prioritize tasks by urgency and impact: tackle high-impact tasks first, delegate when possible, and break large tasks into smaller steps. For more assistance, feel free to ask—I’m here to help!"
    },
    {
        prompt: "How can I improve my time management skills?",
        response: "To improve time management skills, try setting clear goals, using a planner or digital tools, prioritizing tasks, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and minimizing distractions. Regularly review and adjust your approach for better efficiency."
    }
]

function onPromptRequest(args) {
    setTimeout(() => {
        var foundPrompt = prompts.find((promptObj) => promptObj.prompt === args.prompt);
        var defaultResponse = 'For real-time prompt processing, connect the AI AssistView control to your preferred AI service, such as OpenAI or Azure Cognitive Services. Ensure you obtain the necessary API credentials to authenticate and enable seamless integration.';
        
        defaultAIAssistView.addPromptResponse(foundPrompt ? foundPrompt.response : defaultResponse);
        
    }, 2000);
}
