🚀 Usage

1. Wrap Your App with ChatProvider

In your main application file (e.g., App.tsx or index.js), you must import ChatProvider and wrap your root component with it.

// App.tsx
import React from 'react';
import { View, Button, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import { ChatProvider, LiveChat } from 'connect-x-reactnative-livechat-sdk';

const AppContent = () => {
  // ... Your app content
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Button
        title="Open Live Chat"
        onPress={() => {
          LiveChat.show({
            token: 'YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN',
            orgId: 'YOUR_ORGANIZATION_ID',
            channelId: 'YOUR_CHANNEL_ID',
            externalValue: 'YOUR_EXTERNAL_VALUE',
          });
        }}
      />
    </View>
  );
};

const App = () => {
  return (
    <ChatProvider>
      <AppContent />
    </ChatProvider>
  );
};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
  },
});

export default App;

2. Showing the Chat Window

You can call LiveChat.show() from anywhere in your application to open the chat window.

import { LiveChat } from 'connect-x-reactnative-livechat-sdk';

LiveChat.show({
  token: 'YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN',
  orgId: 'YOUR_ORGANIZATION_ID',
  channelId: 'YOUR_CHANNEL_ID',
  externalValue: 'YOUR_EXTERNAL_VALUE',
  customHeader: <YourCustomHeaderComponent />, // Optional
});

3. Hiding the Chat Window (If Needed)

You can programmatically call LiveChat.hide() to close the chat window (e.g., from a close button in a custom header).

import { LiveChat } from 'connect-x-reactnative-livechat-sdk';

LiveChat.hide();
