| title | CopilotChatUserMessage |
|---|---|
| description | Angular standalone component that renders a single user message with attachments, copy and edit actions, and branch navigation. |
CopilotChatUserMessage renders one user message. It shows any image or file attachments, renders the message text through a renderer, and shows a toolbar with copy and edit actions. When the message belongs to a set of regenerated branches, a branch navigation control lets you step between them. It mirrors React's CopilotChatUserMessage.
The copy and edit buttons always render. The branch navigation control renders only when numberOfBranches is greater than 1.
The component is standalone and uses OnPush change detection. Reactive inputs are Angular signals.
Import the component class and use its copilot-chat-user-message selector.
import { Component, signal } from "@angular/core";
import { CopilotChatUserMessage } from "@copilotkit/angular";
import type { UserMessage } from "@ag-ui/core";
@Component({
selector: "app-user-message",
standalone: true,
imports: [CopilotChatUserMessage],
template: `
<copilot-chat-user-message
[message]="message()"
(editMessage)="onEdit($event)"
/>
`,
})
export class UserMessageComponent {
message = signal<UserMessage>({
id: "1",
role: "user",
content: "What is the weather today?",
});
onEdit(event: { message: UserMessage }) {
console.log("edit", event.message.id);
}
}Each of these passes extra CSS classes to the corresponding default sub-component.
Classes for the default message renderer. Classes for the default toolbar. Classes for the default copy button. Classes for the default edit button. Classes for the default branch navigation control.Each of these replaces the corresponding default sub-component with a component class of your own. Content-projection templates (see below) take precedence over these.
Replaces the default message renderer. Replaces the default toolbar. Replaces the default copy button. Replaces the default edit button. Replaces the default branch navigation control. Emitted when the edit button is clicked. The payload is `{ message: UserMessage }`. Emitted when a different branch is selected through the branch navigation control. The payload is `{ message: UserMessage; branchIndex: number; numberOfBranches: number }`.You can override any piece of the message by projecting a named template. A projected template takes precedence over the matching *Component input. Each template receives a typed context object.
