Easily add chat to your React and React Native apps using our new custom hooks

Ably Chat SDK for JavaScript now supports custom contexts and hooks for React and React Native applications, allowing developers to integrate chat features efficiently and idiomatically. The Ably Chat service is designed for various use cases such as livestreams, in-game communication, customer support, or social interactions in SaaS products. It provides out-of-the-box APIs for common chat features like creating chat rooms, sending messages, checking user presence, and tracking connected devices. The new custom React Hooks make adding chat to applications even simpler by providing a full suite of Ably Chat features as hooks, handling asynchronous operations, state management, and high performance at scale.
