Chat List 01 — Conversation inbox / chat-list sidebar.
Interactive: Alpine x-data with search filter, active conversation tracking,
and per-row presence + unread badge. Each row composes <x-ui.avatar>, with
the initials bound via x-text so Alpine can render them from the client-side
conversation list.

Use with AI
A brief for your coding agent: what the block is, the install command, how to render it, its props and the rules. Copy it, or open a prompt about this block in an assistant.
# Brok UI block: Chat List (`chat-list`)
Filterable conversation inbox sidebar with presence indicators, unread badges, and active-row highlight.
Brok UI is a Laravel Blade registry. `ui:add` copies this block into the app as plain Blade the app owns; it composes installed `<brok:*>` primitives and semantic design tokens.
## Install
```bash
php artisan ui:add blocks/chat-list
```
## Render it
```blade
<x-blocks.chat-list />
```
## Props
- `title` (string, default `Messages`)
## Use when
- Building a conversation-inbox sidebar with presence dots, unread badges and an active-row highlight per conversation.
- Letting a visitor filter the conversation list live by name or message preview.
## Avoid when
- Use chat-demo for a single static conversation panel rather than a filterable list of many conversations.
## Rules
- Render the installed block with `<x-blocks.chat-list />` and pass data through its props; edit the copied file only for structural changes.
- Keep the semantic design tokens (`bg-background`, `text-muted-foreground`); never swap in raw colour utilities.
- Keep the `data-slot` attributes and the logical (start/end) spacing so the markup still mirrors under `dir="rtl"`.
## Links
- Docs: https://brokui.dev/blocks/chat-list
- Registry JSON (files, props, contract): https://brokui.dev/r/open/blocks/chat-list.json
Working in Claude Code, Cursor or Codex? Give the agent the whole registry through the MCP server or the Brok UI skill.
Guidance
Use when
- Building a conversation-inbox sidebar with presence dots, unread badges and an active-row highlight per conversation.
- Letting a visitor filter the conversation list live by name or message preview.
Avoid when
- Use chat-demo for a single static conversation panel rather than a filterable list of many conversations.
Anti-patterns
- Do not replace semantic props with conflicting utility classes.
- Do not remove labels, focus styles, or state attributes.
- Anatomy
Usage
Render the block as a component, passing data where useful:
<x-blocks.chat-list />
Built from primitives
This block composes installed <brok:*> primitives and semantic design
tokens only — it does not reimplement any primitive. Re-theme it (light, dark, admin, customer) by
editing CSS variables; flip the preview to RTL to confirm it mirrors.
Source
The exact, editable file ui:add writes
into your app. The preview above renders this same source — there are no preview-only blocks.
