MessageActionsBoxComponent
The MessageActionsBox
component displays a list of message actions (i.e edit), that can be opened or closed. You can find the list of the supported actions in the message interaction guide.
Example 1 - example message actions with the message component:

Basic usage
A typical use case for the MessageActionsBox
component would be to use in your custom components that will completely override the message component.
@Component({
selector: "app-custom-message",
template: `
<stream-message-actions-box
[isOpen]="isActionBoxOpen"
[isMine]="isMessageSentByCurrentUser"
></stream-message-actions-box>
<!-- Other parts of the custom message component -->
`,
})
export class CustomMessageComponent {
@Input() message: StreamMessage;
isActionBoxOpen: boolean;
isMessageSentByCurrentUser: boolean;
}
Customization
You can provide your own message actions box component (or just a template for the items) by the CustomTemplatesService
