In WeChat Miniprogram, create a chat page "chat.wxml" for me
Here is a sample "chat.wxml" file for a WeChat Miniprogram chat page:
phpCopy code<!-- chat.wxml -->
<view class="chat-container">
<scroll-view class="message-list" scroll-y="true">
<!-- loop through messages and display them -->
<block wx:for="{{messages}}" wx:key="index">
<!-- display message sent by current user -->
<view class="message-item self" wx:if="{{item.isSelf}}">
<text class="message-text">{{item.content}}</text>
</view>
<!-- display message received from other user -->
<view class="message-item other" wx:if="{{!item.isSelf}}">
<text class="message-text">{{item.content}}</text>
</view>
</block>
</scroll-view>
<!-- input area for sending messages -->
<view class="input-container">
<input class="message-input" placeholder="Type a message" bindinput="onInput" />
<button class="send-button" bindtap="onSend">Send</button>
</view>
</view>
<!-- add some basic styling -->
<style>
.chat-container {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
height: 100vh;
}
.message-list {
flex: 1;
padding: 20px;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
.message-item {
margin-bottom: 20px;
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
}
.self {
align-self: flex-end;
background-color: lightblue;
}
.other {
align-self: flex-start;
background-color: lightgray;
}
.message-text {
font-size: 16px;
}
.input-container {
padding: 20px;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
}
.message-input {
flex: 1;
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
border: 1px solid gray;
}
.send-button {
padding: 10px 20px;
background-color: lightblue;
border-radius: 10px;
color: white;
font-weight: bold;
}
</style>
This file uses WXML (WeChat Markup Language) to define the layout and structure of the chat page. The scroll-view
component is used to display the messages, with a block
element looping through the messages
data array and displaying each message. The input area at the bottom of the page is made up of an input field and a send button. The bindinput
and bindtap
attributes are used to bind input and tap events to the input field and button, respectively.
Note that this is just a basic example, and you may need to add additional functionality such as storing and retrieving messages from a database, or handling more complex user interactions.
update this page with avatar above each message
Here is the updated "chat.wxml" file for a WeChat Miniprogram chat page with avatar above each message:
phpCopy code<!-- chat.wxml -->
<view class="chat-container">
<scroll-view class="message-list" scroll-y="true">
<!-- loop through messages and display them -->
<block wx:for="{{messages}}" wx:key="index">
<!-- display message sent by current user -->
<view class="message-item self" wx:if="{{item.isSelf}}">
<image class="avatar" src="{{item.avatarUrl}}" />
<text class="message-text">{{item.content}}</text>
</view>
<!-- display message received from other user -->
<view class="message-item other" wx:if="{{!item.isSelf}}">
<image class="avatar" src="{{item.avatarUrl}}" />
<text class="message-text">{{item.content}}</text>
</view>
</block>
</scroll-view>
<!-- input area for sending messages -->
<view class="input-container">
<input class="message-input" placeholder="Type a message" bindinput="onInput" />
<button class="send-button" bindtap="onSend">Send</button>
</view>
</view>
<!-- add some basic styling -->
<style>
.chat-container {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
height: 100vh;
}
.message-list {
flex: 1;
padding: 20px;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
.message-item {
margin-bottom: 20px;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
.self {
align-self: flex-end;
background-color: lightblue;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row-reverse;
}
.other {
align-self: flex-start;
background-color: lightgray;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
.avatar {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
border-radius: 25px;
margin: 10px;
}
.message-text {
padding: 10px;
font-size: 16px;
border-radius: 10px;
}
.input-container {
padding: 20px;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
}
.message-input {
flex: 1;
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
border: 1px solid gray;
}
.send-button {
padding: 10px 20px;
background-color: lightblue;
border-radius: 10px;
color: white;
font-weight: bold;
}
</style>
In this updated version, the message-item
component now includes an avatar image, which is displayed next to the message text. The flex
and `align
based on the chat page, wrote me a javascript to support this page, with receive message function named "handleReceive", send function named "handleSend", send function need to have empty string validate, when receive function triggerd, message-list need to scroll down to the bottom.
Here's the JavaScript code that supports the chat page in the WeChat Miniprogram:
phpCopy code// chat.js
Page({
data: {
messages: []
},
onLoad: function () {
// Get initial messages
this.setData({
messages: [
{
content: "Hello!",
isSelf: false,
avatarUrl: "https://example.com/avatar1.png"
},
{
content: "Hi!",
isSelf: true,
avatarUrl: "https://example.com/avatar2.png"
}
]
});
},
handleReceive: function () {
// Simulate receiving a new message
this.setData({
messages: this.data.messages.concat({
content: "New message!",
isSelf: false,
avatarUrl: "https://example.com/avatar1.png"
})
});
// Scroll to the bottom of the message list
this.scrollToBottom();
},
handleSend: function () {
// Get the input value
let message = this.data.inputValue;
// Validate the input value
if (!message) {
wx.showToast({
title: "Cannot send empty message",
icon: "none"
});
return;
}
// Add the message to the list
this.setData({
messages: this.data.messages.concat({
content: message,
isSelf: true,
avatarUrl: "https://example.com/avatar2.png"
}),
inputValue: ""
});
// Scroll to the bottom of the message list
this.scrollToBottom();
},
onInput: function (event) {
this.setData({
inputValue: event.detail.value
});
},
scrollToBottom: function () {
wx.createSelectorQuery()
.select(".message-list")
.boundingClientRect(rect => {
wx.pageScrollTo({
scrollTop: rect.height
});
})
.exec();
}
});
In this code, the handleReceive
function simulates the receipt of a new message by adding a new object to the messages
data array. The handleSend
function adds a new message to the messages
data array, but only if the input value is not an empty string. The input value is bound to the input field in the template using the bindinput
event.
In addition, the scrollToBottom
function uses the WeChat API wx.createSelectorQuery
and wx.pageScrollTo
to scroll to the bottom of the message list when a new message is received or sent.
2 / 2change the send button to a message icon button
Here's the updated code for the chat.wxml
file with a message icon button for sending messages:
phpCopy code<!-- chat.wxml -->
<view class="message-list">
<view class="message" wx:for="{{messages}}" wx:key="index">
<image class="avatar" src="{{item.avatarUrl}}" />
<view class="bubble {{item.isSelf ? 'self' : ''}}">{{item.content}}</view>
</view>
</view>
<view class="input-container">
<input class="input" value="{{inputValue}}" bindinput="onInput" />
<button class="send-button" bindtap="handleSend">
<image class="icon" src="https://example.com/message-icon.png" />
</button>
</view>
In this code, the send button is now represented by an image with the message-icon.png
icon. The bindtap
event is still used to trigger the handleSend
function in the JavaScript code when the button is tapped.
how to trigger .message-list scroll
To trigger the scroll of the .message-list
element, you can use the wx.pageScrollTo
method in the WeChat API. The wx.pageScrollTo
method allows you to smoothly scroll to a specific position on the page.
Here's an example of how you can use the wx.pageScrollTo
method to scroll to the bottom of the .message-list
element:
javascriptCopy codescrollToBottom: function () {
wx.createSelectorQuery()
.select(".message-list")
.boundingClientRect(rect => {
wx.pageScrollTo({
scrollTop: rect.height
});
})
.exec();
}
In this code, the wx.createSelectorQuery
method is used to select the .message-list
element and obtain its bounding client rect. The rect.height
property represents the height of the element, and this value is passed to the scrollTop
option of the wx.pageScrollTo
method to scroll to the bottom of the element.
now i wanna create a socket to listen the incoming messages, and then trigger handleReceive function with message passed to the function
Here's an example of how you could use a WebSocket to listen for incoming messages and trigger the handleReceive
function with the received message:
javascriptCopy codeconst socket = new WebSocket("wss://example.com/socket");
socket.onopen = function() {
console.log("WebSocket connected.");
};
socket.onmessage = function(event) {
const message = JSON.parse(event.data);
handleReceive(message);
};
socket.onclose = function(event) {
console.log("WebSocket closed with code: " + event.code);
};
function handleReceive(message) {
const messages = this.data.messages.concat(message);
this.setData({ messages });
this.scrollToBottom();
}
In this code, a new WebSocket connection is created using the wss://example.com/socket
URL. The socket.onopen
event handler is called when the WebSocket is successfully connected. The socket.onmessage
event handler is called when a message is received over the WebSocket. In this handler, the handleReceive
function is called with the received message as the argument. Finally, the socket.onclose
event handler is called when the WebSocket is closed.
