import { ChatBotProvider, useChatBot, usePending } from 'react-ai-chatbot';

const ChatBot = ({ children } : { children: ReactNode }) => {

  const [ message, setMessage ] = useState<string>('');

  const { messages, sendMessage, isLoading, isError, error } = useChatBot();

  const messageChangeHandler = (e:ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => setMessage(e.target.value);

  const sendMessageHandler = () => {

    sendMessage(message);
    setMessage('');
  }

  return <div>
    {isLoading ? <div>loading...</div> : ''}
    {isError ? <div>{error}</div> : ''}
    <div>
      {messages.map((m, i)=><div key={i}>{m.type}: {m.message}</div>)}

    </div>
    <div>
      <input type="text" value={message} onChange={messageChangeHandler} />
    </div>
    <button onClick={sendMessageHandler}>Send</button>
  </div>
}

const PendingMessage = () => {

  const { pending } = usePending();

  return <>{ pending }</>;
