react-botkit's Issues

Tests, tests, tests!

Since the project was created for internal use and quickly bootstrapped with create-react-app I did not give much thought to writing tests.

There are currently a couple of tests, but they basically check that the app doesn’t crash right away.

It would be great to cover the current code with tests and adopt a TDD development process for future features.

Please submit any meaningful tests you can think of for the current code, and I will gladly merge them!

Including names and avatars in chat.

A lot of services have user avatars and names present inside of the chat.

Messenger, for example, has this thing where you see the avatars on the right, but not your own.

Ideally, this should be 100% customizable via the authors object. We’d add two new props:

export const Author = PropTypes.shape({
  // ...
  authorName: PropType.string,
  authorImage: PropType.string,
});

And then use those settings inside of <Bubble/> component to render an extra image. The hardest part about this is getting the CSS right and making it easy for it to override.

Any takers? I’ll gladly help anyone willing to tackle this.
