KitChatBubble

Conversation message with author and metadata.

Set author, text and metadata, then choose ChatSide.start or .end according to message origin. Compose bubbles in a list suited to the history size.

The end side uses the accent color and the start side a secondary background. Text wraps; no conversation or networking logic is included.

Complete example

This complete Slint file is a visual composition used to produce the screenshot above. Internal strings without a label property retain the kit’s default language; system dialogs follow the host platform. Projected state and callbacks requesting a decision need host wiring; the standalone fixture does not supply that controller. Set up the Rust project, then see the typed controller application for working editing, validation and selection.
