Use MessageAvatar to render an avatar next to the message. Set align="end" on the message to align the avatar to the end of the message.

Can you share the exact error?

Here's the error from the logs

Something went wrong with the build. The libraries are not installed correctly. Try running the build again.

Group

Use MessageGroup to stack consecutive messages from the same sender. Render an empty MessageAvatar on the earlier messages to keep them aligned with the avatar on the last one.

message-group

I checked the registry addresses.

CN

The component and example JSON now live under the UI registry.

Header and Footer

Use MessageHeader for a sender name and MessageFooter for metadata such as a delivery or read status.

Actions

Place message-level actions in MessageFooter, such as copy, retry, or feedback buttons.

Accessibility

Message is a presentational layout wrapper. Accessibility comes from the content you place inside it.

Label icon-only actions

Action buttons in MessageFooter are usually icon-only, so give each one an aria-label.

<MessageFooter>
  <Button variant="ghost" size="icon" aria-label="Copy">
    <CopyIcon />
  </Button>
</MessageFooter>

Status updates

For in-progress messages, use a Marker with role="status" so assistive tech announces the update as it appears.

<Message>
  <Marker role="status">
    <MarkerIcon>
      <Spinner />
    </MarkerIcon>
    <MarkerContent>Checking the logs...</MarkerContent>
  </Marker>
</Message>

API Reference

Message

The message row wrapper.

MessageGroup

Groups consecutive messages from the same sender.

MessageAvatar

The avatar slot, aligned to the bottom of the message. When the message has a MessageFooter, the avatar shifts up to stay aligned with the message surface instead of the footer.

MessageContent

Wraps the header, message surface, and footer.

MessageHeader

Displays content above the message, such as a sender name. Stays aligned to the start regardless of align.

MessageFooter

Displays content below the message, such as status or actions. Aligns to the message side.
