# Integrating DocsGPT Chat Widget
## Introduction
The DocsGPT Widget is a powerful tool that allows you to integrate AI-driven document assistance directly into your web applications. This guide will walk you through embedding the DocsGPT Widget into your projects, whether you're using React, plain HTML, or Nextra. Enhance your user experience by providing seamless access to intelligent document search and chatbot capabilities.
Try out the interactive widget showcase and customize its parameters at the [DocsGPT Widget Demo](https://widget.docsgpt.cloud/).
## Setup
<Tabs items={['React', 'HTML', 'Nextra']}>
<Tabs.Tab>
### Installation
Make sure you have Node.js and npm (or yarn, pnpm) installed in your project. Navigate to your project directory in the terminal and install the `docsgpt` package:
```bash npm
npm install docsgpt
```
### Usage
In your React component file, import the `DocsGPTWidget` component:
```js
import { DocsGPTWidget } from "docsgpt";
```
Now, you can embed the widget within your React component's JSX:
```jsx
<DocsGPTWidget
apiHost="https://your-docsgpt-api.com"
apiKey=""
avatar="https://d3dg1063dc54p9.cloudfront.net/cute-docsgpt.png"
title="Get AI assistance"
description="DocsGPT's AI Chatbot is here to help"
heroTitle="Welcome to DocsGPT !"
heroDescription="This chatbot is built with DocsGPT and utilises GenAI,
please review important information using sources."
theme="dark"
buttonIcon="https://your-icon"
buttonBg="#222327"
/>
```
</Tabs.Tab>
<Tabs.Tab>
### Installation
To use the DocsGPT Widget directly in HTML, include the widget script from a CDN in your HTML file:
```html filename="html"
<script
src="https://unpkg.com/docsgpt/dist/legacy/main.js"
type="module"
></script>
```
### Usage
In your HTML `<body>`, add a `<div>` element where you want to render the widget. Set an `id` for easy targeting.
```html filename="html"
<div id="app"></div>
```
Then, in a `<script type="module">` block, use the `renderDocsGPTWidget` function to initialize the widget, passing the `id` of your `<div>` and a configuration object. To link the widget to your DocsGPT API and specific documents, pass the relevant parameters within the configuration object of `renderDocsGPTWidget`.
```html filename="html"
<!DOCTYPE html>
<div id="app"></div>
<script type="module">
window.onload = function() {
renderDocsGPTWidget('app', {
apiHost: 'http://localhost:7001', // Replace with your API Host
apiKey:"",
avatar: 'https://d3dg1063dc54p9.cloudfront.net/cute-docsgpt.png',
title: 'Get AI assistance',
description: "DocsGPT's AI Chatbot is here to help",
heroTitle: 'Welcome to DocsGPT!',
heroDescription: 'This chatbot is utilises GenAI, please review important information.',
theme:"dark",
buttonIcon:"https://your-icon",
buttonBg:"#222327"
});
}
</script>
```
</Tabs.Tab>
<Tabs.Tab>
### Installation
Make sure you have Node.js and npm (or yarn, pnpm) installed in your project. Navigate to your project directory in the terminal and install the `docsgpt` package:
```bash npm
npm install docsgpt
```
### Usage with Nextra (Next.js + MDX)
To integrate the DocsGPT Widget into a [Nextra](https://nextra.site/) documentation site (built with Next.js and MDX), create or modify your `pages/_app.js` file as follows:
```js filename="pages/_app.js"
import { DocsGPTWidget } from "docsgpt";
export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
return (
<>
<Component {...pageProps} />
<DocsGPTWidget selectDocs="local/docsgpt-sep.zip/"/>
</>
)
}
```
</Tabs.Tab>
</Tabs>
