### Sending a message in the chat
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
WA.chat.sendChatMessage(message: string, author: string): void
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Sends a message in the chat. The message is only visible in the browser of the current user.
|
|
|
|
* **message**: the message to be displayed in the chat
|
|
* **author**: the name displayed for the author of the message. It does not have to be a real user.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
WA.chat.sendChatMessage('Hello world', 'Mr Robot');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Listening to messages from the chat
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
WA.chat.onChatMessage(callback: (message: string) => void): void
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Listens to messages typed by the current user and calls the callback. Messages from other users in the chat cannot be listened to.
|
|
|
|
* **callback**: the function that will be called when a message is received. It contains the message typed by the user.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
WA.chat.onChatMessage((message => {
|
|
console.log('The user typed a message', message);
|
|
}));
|
|
```
