JavaScript/jQuery Chat - SendButtonProperties

A configuration object for the Send button.

import { SendButtonProperties } from "devextreme/ui/chat"
Type:

Object

action

Specifies the Send button's behavior.

Type:

SendButtonAction

Default Value: 'send'

The 'send' value (default) enables the standard send behavior: the button is disabled when the input field is empty, and a button click sends the message and clears the input field.

The 'custom' value disables the standard send behavior: the button is always enabled regardless of input content, and a button click does not send the message or clear the input field. Use the onClick handler to implement custom logic.
