Building a React AI Components Library: Chat, Suggestions, and AI UX Patterns
Reusable React components for AI features: streaming text, AI suggestions, confidence indicators
Create a reusable React component library for AI features including streaming text display, AI suggestion boxes, confidence level indicators, loading skeletons, and accessible AI interaction patterns.
Building reusable AI components accelerates development and ensures consistent UX. Key components: 1) StreamingText: renders incrementally as tokens arrive. Uses useRef for cursor, CSS animation for blinking cursor effect. Accepts onComplete callback. 2) AISuggestionBox: shows AI suggestions with accept/reject/edit actions. Keyboard shortcuts (Tab to accept, Escape to dismiss). 3) AILoadingState: semantic skeleton with animated gradient, matches expected content layout. 4) ConfidenceIndicator: visual indicator (0-100%) with color coding (green >80, yellow 50-80, red <50). 5) ConversationMessage: renders user and AI messages with different styles, timestamps, copy button, feedback buttons. Component API design: follow shadcn/ui patterns with cn() for class merging, forward refs, aria labels, data-state attributes for CSS targeting. TypeScript: strict types for all props, generic types for data payloads. Storybook: document every component with multiple stories showing different states. Accessibility: ARIA live regions for streaming content (aria-live="polite"), keyboard navigation for all interactive elements, focus management after AI actions.
