Lifecycle

The Mathew chatbot runs functions called lifecycle hooks every time something happens in it (e.g. when the chatbot is opened, when a message is sent, etc.).

You can use these hooks to run your own code at these times.

Registering lifecycle hooks

Lifecycle hooks are registered in the startChatbot function.

import { startChatbot } from '@adaptical/mathew-chatbot'

const chatbotRoot = document.querySelector('#app')
const chatbotOptions = {}
const lifecycleHooks = {
    onOpenChatbot: () => console.log('Chatbot opened'),
    onCloseChatbot: () => console.log('Chatbot closed'),
}

startChatbot(chatbotRoot, chatbotOptions, lifecycleHooks)
