Everything users expect from modern chat. Out of the box.
CometChat's Compact Message Composer, part of the CometChat UI Kits, brings rich text formatting to your chat app - bold, italic, strikethrough, underline, links, bullet points, blockquotes and more. Enabled with a single prop. Comes with a floating toolbar, keyboard shortcuts, and full control over how messages are sent. Drop it into any framework and ship a richer chat experience in minutes.
I'm Pourav, Product Manager at CometChat, and I'm excited to share what we've been working on. The CometChat Compact Message Composer started from a simple observation - users want to express themselves clearly in chat, and developers want a composer that's easy to integrate and customize. We built this to solve both.
With rich text formatting enabled by a single prop, a floating toolbar, keyboard shortcuts, and support for attachments, mentions, voice recording and more - it's everything you'd expect from a modern chat composer, without the build time.
It's part of our UI Kits, so it drops into any framework and plays well with CometChatMessageHeader and CometChatMessageList out of the - seamlessly. We'd love to hear what you think. Try it out, break it, and let us know what you'd want next. We're here all day to answer questions. 🚀
