MessageError

Renders message error UI inside MessageList. This is the default component for the MessageError prop.

Best Practices

  • Show clear, actionable error messaging for failed sends.
  • Keep error UI minimal to avoid cluttering the list.
  • Provide a retry affordance when applicable.
  • Avoid retry loops; let the user initiate retries.
  • Keep the component lightweight to reduce re-render cost.
