Sendbird JavaScript SDK v3 samples

Deprecation Note (v3)

⚠️ Please note that Sendbird’s SDK v3 will be deprecated by July 2023. You may still use the older SDKs at your choice, but no new updates or bug fixes will be made to SDK v3.

We recommend clients to plan their migration to SDK v4 as early as possible as there are breaking changes. We also provide prioritized support for migration and any issues related to v4. SDK v4 provides far richer and robust features in Websocket, Local caching, Polls, Scheduled Messages, Pinned Message, and many more. So try it out now! (Chat SDK v4 react samples)

🔒 Security tip

When a new Sendbird application is created in the dashboard the default security settings are set permissive to simplify running samples and implementing your first code.

Before launching make sure to review the security tab under ⚙️ Settings -> Security, and set Access token permission to Read Only or Disabled so that unauthenticated users can not login as someone else. And review the Access Control lists. Most apps will want to disable "Allow retrieving user list" as that could expose usage numbers and other information.

Introduction

This repository contains samples for how to use Sendbird to add chat using Javascript, React and React Native. You can find more information in the Javascript SDK documentation and React Quickstart Documentation

React

Our development kit includes light and dark themes, text fonts, colors and more. All the included components can be styled and customized to create an unique experience that fits your app.

• Basic React App is a quickest way to get started using UIKit

• Composed React App demonstrates how to use the various smart components.

• Custom React App shows how to customize the Message, ChannelPreview, and UserList UI elements.

React Native

The Sendbird React Native framework allows you to simplify development for iOS and Android apps, and reuse the same code on both web and mobile apps.

JavaScript
