# Message

Chat message: author/time, inline-markup body (bold/code/[n] citations), tool-call + chart/code blocks, follow-up chips, and a typing indicator. Exports renderInline + TypingIndicator.

[All components](https://rickylabs.github.io/netscript/design-system/components/) · [Theme builder](https://rickylabs.github.io/netscript/create/) · [Implementation source](https://github.com/rickylabs/netscript/blob/main/packages/fresh-ui/registry/components/ui/message.tsx)

## Live preview

[Open live message preview](https://rickylabs.github.io/netscript/assets/fresh-ui/preview/?component=message&theme=studio-utility)

## Install

```bash
netscript ui:add message
```

## Usage and examples

The preview runs this JSX with the installed components. Import any composed primitives from your UI directory.

```tsx
import { useState } from 'preact/hooks';
import { Message } from '@app/components/ui/message.tsx';

export function Example() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState('standard');
  const [open, setOpen] = useState(false);
  const [notice, report] = useState('');
  return (<><div><Message message={ {role:"assistant",author:{name:"Order assistant"},body:"Your order **SO–10480** has shipped."} } /></div><p role="status">{notice}</p></>);
}
```

## Props

Generated from native `deno doc --json --private` over the shipped implementation. Compound component props retain their owning interface; native attributes pass through where declared.

| Owner | Prop | Type | Optional | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `MessageProps` | `message` | `MessageData` | No |  |
| `MessageProps` | `ctx` | `MessageCtx` | Yes |  |
| `MessageProps` | `class` | `string` | Yes |  |

```typescript
type MessageRole = "user" | "assistant" | "system"
type MessageBlock = { type: "chart"; title?: string; sub?: string; data: ChartDatum[]; unit?: string; variant?: "bar" | "column" } | { type: "code"; code: string; filename?: string; lang?: string }
MessageProps extends Omit<JSX.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>, "class">
```

## Contract and compatibility

Accessibility pattern: noninteractive presentation

- Native DOM attributes pass through where the implementation accepts them.

Design contract values marked planned are not implementation props. The props above describe what ships today.
