[v3.8.0] (Nov 3 2023)

Feat:

• Added a feature to support predefined suggested reply options for AI chatbot trigger messages.
• Introduced custom date format string sets, allowing users to customize the date format for DateSeparators and UnreadCount.
• Exported the initialMessagesFetch callback from the hook to provide more flexibility in UIKit customization.

Fixes:

• Removed duplicate UserProfileProvider in `OpenChannelSettings``.
• Removed the logic blocking the addition of empty channels to the ChannelList.
• Fixed a runtime error in empty channels.
• Added precise object dependencies in effect hooks to prevent unnecessary re-renders in the Channel module.

Chores:

• Migrated the rest of modules & UI components to TypeScript from Javascript.
• Introduced new build settings:
  • Changes have been made to export modules using the sub-path exports in the package.json. If you were using the package in a Native CJS environment, this might have an impact.
    In that case, you can migrate the path as follows:

    - const ChannelList = require('@sendbird/uikit-react/cjs/ChannelList');
    + const ChannelList = require('@sendbird/uikit-react/ChannelList');

  • TypeScript support also has been improved. Now, precise types based on the source code are used.
