Pickers & navigationConversationSidebar

Conversation Sidebar

Chat history rail with active state, timestamps, and a new-chat action.

ConversationSidebar ships with a full API table, a copyable example, and accessibility notes.

tsx

Installation

Install the package once, then import ConversationSidebar from its direct entry point or from the root.

bash

pnpm add @agent-ui/react

tsx

import { ConversationSidebar } from "@agent-ui/react/conversation-sidebar";

Tailwind CSS v4 users: add @source "../node_modules/@agent-ui/react/src" to the global stylesheet so the library utilities are generated.

Usage

The example below is the same code that renders the preview. Copy it, swap in your own handlers, and ship.

tsx

1import { ConversationSidebar } from "@agent-ui/react";
2 
3<ConversationSidebar
4  conversations={conversations}
5  activeId={activeId}
6  onSelect={openConversation}
7  onNew={newChat}
8/>
