Link Preview

Overview

LinkPreview is a React component designed to display a preview of a link. It provides users with a visually engaging representation of the link's content, including elements like the title, description, and a thumbnail image. This component enhances user experience by making links more informative and clickable within chat or feed interfaces.

Customisations

The LinkPreview customisations can be done using chatBubbleStyles as shown in the Message component.

Usage Example

• In your app, create a CustomChatroomScreen file, wrap it with the ChatRoom context provider.
• Now, you can pass your own custom link preview message component as prop to the ChatRoom context provider

import {
  ChatRoom,
  ChatroomHeader,
  MessageList,
  MessageInput,
  useChatroomContext,
  useMessageListContext,

  ChatroomTopic,

import {InputBoxContextProvider} from '@likeminds.community/chat-rn-core/ChatSX/context/InputBoxContext';
import {ChatroomContextValues} from '@likeminds.community/chat-rn-core/ChatSX/context/ChatroomContext';
import MessageInputBox from "@likeminds.community/chat-rn-core/ChatSX/components/InputBox";

export function CustomChatroomScreen() {
