Appearance in React AI AssistView component

28 Aug 202511 minutes to read

The Syncfusion AI AssistView for React allows for customization of its dimensions and overall look and feel. This can be achieved by setting the component’s width and height or by applying custom CSS styles.

Setting Component Width

The width property allows you to define the width of the AI AssistView container. You can set this value as a string, using either pixels (e.g., "500px") or a percentage (e.g., "50%"). By default, the width is set to 100%, allowing it to fill its parent container.

index.jsx

import { AIAssistViewComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-interactive-chat';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";

function App() {
    const assistInstance = React.useRef(null);
    
    const onPromptRequest = (args) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
            let defaultResponse = 'For real-time prompt processing, connect the AIAssistView component 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.';
            assistInstance.current.addPromptResponse(defaultResponse);
          }, 1000);
    };
  
    return (
        // specifies the tag for render the AI AssistView component
        <AIAssistViewComponent id="aiAssistView" ref={assistInstance} promptRequest={onPromptRequest} width={'650px'}></AIAssistViewComponent>
    );
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('container'));

index.tsx

import { AIAssistViewComponent, PromptRequestEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-interactive-chat';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";

function App() {

    const assistInstance = React.useRef<AIAssistViewComponent>(null);
    
    const onPromptRequest = (args: PromptRequestEventArgs) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
            let defaultResponse = 'For real-time prompt processing, connect the AIAssistView component 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.';
            assistInstance.current.addPromptResponse(defaultResponse);
          }, 1000);
    };
  
    return (
        // specifies the tag for render the AI AssistView component
        <AIAssistViewComponent id="aiAssistView" ref={assistInstance} promptRequest={onPromptRequest} width={'650px'}></AIAssistViewComponent>
    );
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('container'));

Setting Component Height

The height property allows you to define the height of the AI AssistView container. This value can be a string, specified in pixels (e.g., "600px") or as a percentage (e.g., "100%"). The default value is 100%.

index.jsx

import { AIAssistViewComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-interactive-chat';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";

function App() {
    const assistInstance = React.useRef(null);
    
    const onPromptRequest = (args) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
            let defaultResponse = 'For real-time prompt processing, connect the AIAssistView component 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.';
            assistInstance.current.addPromptResponse(defaultResponse);
          }, 1000);
    };
  
    return (
        // specifies the tag for render the AI AssistView component
        <AIAssistViewComponent id="aiAssistView" ref={assistInstance} promptRequest={onPromptRequest} height={'350px'}></AIAssistViewComponent>
    );
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('container'));

index.tsx

import { AIAssistViewComponent, PromptRequestEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-interactive-chat';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";

function App() {

    const assistInstance = React.useRef<AIAssistViewComponent>(null);
    
    const onPromptRequest = (args: PromptRequestEventArgs) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
            let defaultResponse = 'For real-time prompt processing, connect the AIAssistView component 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.';
            assistInstance.current.addPromptResponse(defaultResponse);
          }, 1000);
    };
  
    return (
        // specifies the tag for render the AI AssistView component
        <AIAssistViewComponent id="aiAssistView" ref={assistInstance} promptRequest={onPromptRequest} height={'350px'}></AIAssistViewComponent>
    );
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('container'));

Applying Custom CSS Styles

For more advanced style customizations, you can use the cssClass property to apply one or more custom CSS classes to the AI AssistView component’s root element.

index.jsx

import { AIAssistViewComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-interactive-chat';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";

function App() {
    const assistInstance = React.useRef(null);
    
    const onPromptRequest = (args) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
            let defaultResponse = 'For real-time prompt processing, connect the AIAssistView component 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.';
            assistInstance.current.addPromptResponse(defaultResponse);
          }, 1000);
    };
  
    return (
        // specifies the tag for render the AI AssistView component
        <AIAssistViewComponent id="aiAssistView" ref={assistInstance} promptRequest={onPromptRequest} cssClass={'custom-container'}></AIAssistViewComponent>
    );
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('container'));

index.tsx

import { AIAssistViewComponent, PromptRequestEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-interactive-chat';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";

function App() {

    const assistInstance = React.useRef<AIAssistViewComponent>(null);
    
    const onPromptRequest = (args: PromptRequestEventArgs) => {
        setTimeout(() => {
            let defaultResponse = 'For real-time prompt processing, connect the AIAssistView component 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.';
            assistInstance.current.addPromptResponse(defaultResponse);
          }, 1000);
    };
  
    return (
        // specifies the tag for render the AI AssistView component
        <AIAssistViewComponent id="aiAssistView" ref={assistInstance} promptRequest={onPromptRequest} cssClass={'custom-container'}></AIAssistViewComponent>
    );
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('container'));
