Typing Indicator in Vue Chat UI component

18 Dec 20243 minutes to read

Show or hide typing indicator

You can use the typingUsers property to display the current user’s who are typing to indicate the active participants typing response within the chat conversations. If the property is empty the typing indicators will be removed.

The typing users are the UserModel[] collection, where you can update the user’s dynamically to display the current typing user.
