BbQ.ChatWidgets

A compact library of UI chat widgets and helpers for server and client integrations.

This repository ships three distributable packages:

  • NuGet: BbQ.ChatWidgets (the .NET library: services, renderers, endpoints)
  • npm: @bbq-chat/widgets (the JavaScript/TypeScript client library: widgets, client helpers)
  • npm: @bbq-chat/widgets-angular (Angular-native components and services)

Note: the .NET package no longer bundles the JavaScript client or theme CSS. Install the npm package (or bring your own UI) to render widgets in a browser.

Quick start (ASP.NET Core)

using BbQ.ChatWidgets;

builder.Services.AddBbQChatWidgets(options =>
{
    // configure options (chat client, tools, widgets, etc.)
});

app.MapBbQChatEndpoints();

Features

  • Interactive Chat Widgets: Buttons, forms, cards, dropdowns, sliders, toggles, file uploads, and more
  • Server-Driven UI: The LLM decides which widgets to show based on conversation context
  • Automatic Chat History Summarization: Efficiently manages long conversations by summarizing older turns
  • SSE Support: Real-time server-pushed widget updates
  • Triage Agents: Route conversations to specialized agents based on classification
  • Type-Safe Widget Actions: Strongly-typed handlers for widget interactions
  • Extensible Architecture: Swap out components via dependency injection

dotnet add [YOUR_PROJECT] package BbQ.ChatWidgets

npm (JS/TS client + themes)
