Angular Chat - AI and Chatbot Integration

This demo leverages the Azure OpenAI service alongside the DevExtreme Chat component. You can integrate Chat with multiple AI services, including OpenAI, Google Dialogflow, and Microsoft Bot Framework.

Handling dataSource (reloadOnChange: false)

The Chat component's dataSource is a CustomStore that implements its own load and insert functions. The DevExtreme Chat component deactivates reloadOnChange to push updates directly into the store and update the conversation manually. See theonMessageEntered event handler and the processMessageSending function to review the code that manages data transfer between our Chat component and its data store.

Custom Message Template

The Chat specifies a messageTemplate that displays "Copy" and "Regenerate" buttons in bot messages.

Response Format Conversion: Markdown to HTML

The AI model outputs responses in Markdown, while the Chat requires HTML output. This example uses the unified plugin library to convert response content. Review convertToHtml function code for implementation details.

Default Caption Customization

The Chat component in this demo displays modified captions when the conversation is empty. The demo uses localization techniques to alter built-in text.
