Window

The Window component handles width changes in the main channel to ensure a seamless user experience when opening and closing a Thread component.

Basic Usage

The Window component must wrap the main channel components to enable smooth mount and unmount behavior. It must be rendered at the same level as the Thread. This ensures correct width changes in the main channel when opening and closing a Thread.

<Chat client={client}>
  <Channel channel={channel}>
    <Window>
      <MessageList />
      <MessageInput />
    </Window>
    <Thread />
  </Channel>
</Chat>
