Open the ~/_Imports.razor file and import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.InteractiveChat namespaces.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.InteractiveChatRegister Syncfusion® Blazor Service
Register the Syncfusion® Blazor Service in the ~/Program.cs file of the Blazor WebAssembly App.
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Web;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Hosting;
using Syncfusion.Blazor;
var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault(args);
builder.RootComponents.Add<App>("#app");
builder.RootComponents.Add<HeadOutlet>("head::after");
builder.Services.AddScoped(sp => new HttpClient { BaseAddress = new Uri(builder.HostEnvironment.BaseAddress) });
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();
await builder.Build().RunAsync();
....Add stylesheet and script resources
The theme stylesheet and script can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Include the stylesheet and script references within the <head> section of the ~/index.html file.
<head>
....
<link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes/bootstrap5.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>NOTE
Check out the Blazor Themes topic to discover various methods (Static Web Assets, CDN, and CRG) for referencing themes in Blazor application. Also, check out the Adding Script Reference topic to learn different approaches for adding script references in Blazor application.
Add Syncfusion® Blazor AI AssistView component
Add the Syncfusion® Blazor AI AssistView component in the ~/Pages/Index.razor file.
<div class="aiassist-container" style="height: 350px; width: 650px;">
<SfAIAssistView></SfAIAssistView>
</div>- Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or ⌘+F5 (macOS) to launch the application. This will render the Syncfusion® Blazor AI AssistView component in default web browser.
Configure suggestions and responses
You can use the PromptSuggestions property to add prompt suggestions and the PromptRequested event to add responses when the prompt matches the specified prompts data otherwise, the default response will be displayed.
<div class="aiassist-container" style="height: 350px; width: 650px;">
<SfAIAssistView PromptSuggestions="@promptSuggestions" PromptRequested="@PromptRequest"></SfAIAssistView>
</div>
@code {
List<string> promptSuggestions = new List<string> { "How do I prioritize my tasks?", "How can I improve my time management skills?" };
public class AssistModel
{
public string Prompt { get; set; }
public string Response { get; set; }
}
private List<AssistModel> prompts = new List<AssistModel>()
{
new AssistModel() { Prompt = "How do I prioritize my tasks?", Response = "Prioritize tasks by urgency and impact: tackle high-impact tasks first, delegate when possible, and break large tasks into smaller steps. For more assistance, feel free to ask—I’m here to help!" },
new AssistModel() { Prompt = "How can I improve my time management skills?", Response = "To improve time management skills, try setting clear goals, using a planner or digital tools, prioritizing tasks, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and minimizing distractions. Regularly review and adjust your approach for better efficiency" }
};
private async Task PromptRequest(AssistViewPromptRequestedEventArgs args)
{
await Task.Delay(3000);
var isPromptFound = prompts.Any(prompt => prompt.Prompt == args.Prompt);
var promptData = prompts.FirstOrDefault(prompt => prompt.Prompt == args.Prompt);
var defaultResponse = "For real-time prompt processing, connect the AI AssistView component to your preferred AI service, such as OpenAI or Azure Cognitive Services. Ensure you obtain the necessary API credentials to authenticate and enable seamless integration.";
args.Response = isPromptFound ? promptData.Response : defaultResponse;
}
}
