Flexibility & Reusability
Focused on the best practices for component reusability and customization.
We've worked hard to avoid bloating our SDK components with too much logic. If one of our React components begins to handle a lot of logic, we split it out into two components. We manage this by splitting the first component into a top-level, which will handle all logic needed and then a lower-level component for handling the component rendering. Splitting the components out into two levels makes rendering easier and more efficient for customization. Take the style of our components exactly where you want with baked-in support for SCSS.
Chat is active, so we've included ways to pay attention to performance with PureComponent.
Streami18n allows for built-in translations for components across multiple languages.
