InputType

InputType describes the supported shared-input modes.

Supported Values

• textarea
• select
• text
• password
• email
• number
• tel
• url
• search

Usage

Use InputType when configuring an input-request flow or when reading the current shared input state from useInputFieldStore().

textarea is the default free-text mode and supports multiline prompts with Shift+Enter for a new line.

select renders a dropdown and uses inputOptions from the request-input configuration.

import { createRequestInputButtonDef } from 'react-actions-chat';

const emailButtonDef = createRequestInputButtonDef({
  initialLabel: 'Update email',
  inputPromptMessage: 'Enter your new email address.',
  inputType: 'email',
});
