MessageReplies

Renders thread reply count and avatars inside MessageList. This is the default component for the MessageReplies prop.

Best Practices

  • Keep reply indicators compact to avoid clutter.
  • Use onOpenThread to navigate to thread views consistently.
  • Respect alignment and thread state for consistent layout.
  • Avoid heavy logic in press handlers.
  • Use preventPress for read-only reply indicators.
