Hello friends, welcome back to my blog. Today in this blog post, I am going to show you, React js Bootstrap 4 Chat Widget.
For reactjs new comers, please check the below link:
Friends now I proceed onwards and here is the working code snippet for React js Bootstrap 4 Chat Widget and Bootstrap 4 vertical navigation and please use this carefully to avoid the mistakes:
1. Firstly, we need fresh reactjs setup and for that, we need to run below commands into out terminal and also we should have latest node version installed on our system:
npx create-react-app reactchat cd reactchat npm start
2. Now we need to run below commands into our project terminal to get bootstrap and related modules into our reactjs application:
npm install bootstrap --save npm install jquery --save npm install jquery-slim npm start //For start project again
3. Finally for the main output, we need to add below code into our reactchat/src/App.js file or if you have fresh setup then you can replace reactchat/src/App.js file code with below code:
import React from 'react';
import './App.css';
//Importing bootstrap and other modules
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
import 'bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js';
class Home extends React.Component {
render() {

4. Now friends, we need to below code into our reactchat/src/App.css file for some custom styling:
/*
*
* ==========================================
* FOR DEMO PURPOSES
* ==========================================
*
*/
body {
background-color: #74EBD5;
background-image: linear-gradient(90deg, #74EBD5 0%, #9FACE6 100%);
min-height: 100vh;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar {
width: 5px;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
width: 5px;
background: #f5f5f5;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
width: 1em;
background-color: #ddd;
outline: 1px solid slategrey;
border-radius: 1rem;
}
.text-small {
font-size: 0.9rem;
}
.messages-box,
.chat-box {
height: 510px;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
.rounded-lg {
border-radius: 0.5rem;
}
input::placeholder {
font-size: 0.9rem;
color: #999;
}
strong{color: blue;}
5. Now friends, we need to below code into our reactchat/public/index.html file for some custom styling:
... <head> ... <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css"> </head>
