Setting up the DocsGPT Widget in Your React Project
Introduction:
The DocsGPT Widget is a powerful tool that allows you to integrate AI-powered documentation assistance into your web applications. This guide will walk you through the installation and usage of the DocsGPT Widget in your React project. Whether you're building a web app or a knowledge base, this widget can enhance your user experience.
Installation
First, make sure you have Node.js and npm installed in your project. Then go to your project and install a new dependency: npm install docsgpt
.
Usage
In the file where you want to use the widget, import it and include the CSS file:
import { DocsGPTWidget } from "docsgpt";
Now, you can use the widget in your component like this :
<DocsGPTWidget
apiHost="https://your-docsgpt-api.com"
selectDocs="local/docs.zip"
apiKey=""
avatar = "https://d3dg1063dc54p9.cloudfront.net/cute-docsgpt.png",
title = "Get AI assistance",
description = "DocsGPT's AI Chatbot is here to help",
heroTitle = "Welcome to DocsGPT !",
heroDescription="This chatbot is built with DocsGPT and utilises GenAI,
please review important information using sources."
/>
DocsGPTWidget takes 8 props with default fallback values:
apiHost
— The URL of your DocsGPT API.selectDocs
