cometchat-components

Purpose

This is the single source of truth for CometChat React UI Kit v6 component names, props, and usage. Check this catalog before writing any <CometChat*> JSX. If a component is not listed here, it does not exist in the exported API.

All components are imported from @cometchat/chat-uikit-react. All SDK types are imported from @cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript.

Importing CometChat.User / CometChat.Group / etc.

CometChat.User, CometChat.Group, CometChat.BaseMessage, CometChat.Conversation, CometChat.GroupMember, CometChat.TextMessage are classes (runtime values), not pure types. That means the import strategy depends on how you use them:

Pattern A — you call the class as a value or use it with instanceof. Use a plain value import:

import { CometChat } from "@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript";

if (entity instanceof CometChat.User) { ... }
const user = await CometChat.getUser(uid);
