FileAttachmentGroup

Renders a group of file attachments inside MessageList. This is the default component for the FileAttachmentGroup prop.

Best Practices

  • Use file grouping for messages with multiple files to keep UI compact.
  • Provide clear file names and sizes to help users identify attachments.
  • Handle empty or invalid file arrays gracefully.
  • Avoid heavy file icon rendering in large lists.
  • Use consistent file download/open behavior across attachments.

Props

messageId

ID of the current message.

Type
string

files

Array of file attachments shown in the grouped UI component.

const files = message.attachments.filter((a) => a.type === "file");
