It is possible to load the questions and answers from an API about react-chatbot-kit HOT 2 CLOSED

Is it possible to use the loading state more effectively with async/await? if the request takes some time, the chatbot is left without a loading state while the request happens

from react-chatbot-kit.

Sure. You can provide the message parser and config through an API. If you want the backend to be able to handle responding to client messages I think the easiest way to do that would be to call on your API inside of the actionprovider, with the client message as payload, then receive a response and set a new state in the bot.

// In action provider
const handleSomeAction = async (message) => {
     const response = await callAPI(message)
     const data = await response.json()

     const botMessage = this.createChatBotMessage(data.botResponse)
     // Insert your update state function name here
     this.updateMessages(botMessage)
}
