Chat Thread
A vertical stack of chat bubbles composing a back-and-forth conversation.

Guidance
Card and content widgetPresent a self-contained content object with local context.
Use when
- Use when self-contained content objects benefit from a recognizable card-like presentation with local actions or metadata. Do not use card widgets where a simpler list, table, or plain text block would make comparison faster.
Avoid when
- Avoid using chat-thread as a default simply because it is available in the library. Choose it only when its interaction cost, visibility, and behavior match the job to be done.
- Task length
- short
- Interaction cost
- medium
- Interruptiveness
- none
- Input precision
- none
- Mobile / touch risk
- medium
- Accessibility risk
- medium
- Needs background context
- No
- Comparison needed
- Yes
Preferred alternatives
- List for compact scanning
- Table for exact comparison
Anti-patterns
- Using cards for dense cross-item comparison
API
manifest knowledge + registry-derived coverageProps
| Prop | Type / values | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| messages | array|null | null | Conversation turns with role, name, avatar, and content keys. |
Slots
Components use the default Blade slot unless a documented subcomponent is installed by the registry item.
Data slots
chat-thread
Capabilities
Behavior
- Uses server-rendered Blade and semantic HTML.
- Composes chat-bubble for each turn and provides a small fallback conversation when no messages are supplied.
- Declares registry capability flags: a11y, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized.
Usage
<x-ui.chat-thread class="mx-auto w-full max-w-md" />
Accessibility & localization
data-slot
Keyboard focus-visible
Localized labels
- Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
- Uses semantic HTML and a stable
data-slotattribute for styling/scripting hooks. - Focus-visible rings use the
ringtoken so keyboard focus is always visible. - Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
- Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
- Labels go through
__()and the component uses logical properties (ms-*,text-start,start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.
