561
+ ## 🧹 Clearing Chat Data
562
+
563
+ To clear stored chat data (e.g., on logout):
564
+
565
+ ```javascript
566
+ import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-async-storage/async-storage';
567
+
568
+ // Clear all chat data
569
+ const clearChatData = async () => {
570
+ try {
571
+ const chatId = await AsyncStorage.getItem('chatId');
572
+ if (chatId) {
573
+ await AsyncStorage.multiRemove([
574
+ 'chatId',
575
+ `customerName_${chatId}`,
576
+ `customerPhone_${chatId}`,
577
+ `customerEmail_${chatId}`,
578
+ ]);
579
+ console.log('Chat data cleared');
580
+ }
581
+ } catch (error) {
582
+ console.error('Error clearing chat data:', error);
583
+ }
584
+ };
585
+
586
+ // Use on logout
587
+ const handleLogout = async () => {
588
+ await clearChatData();
589
+ // ... rest of logout logic
590
+ };
591
+ ```
592
+

594
+
595
+ ## πŸ› Troubleshooting
596
+
597
+ ### 1. **Widget not appearing**
598
+
599
+ **Cause:** Widget is positioned off-screen or behind other elements.
600
+
601
+ **Solution:**
602
+ - Ensure parent View has `flex: 1`
603
+ - Try different `position` prop values
604
+ - Check z-index of other components
605
+
606
+ ```javascript
607
+ <View style={{ flex: 1 }}> {/* βœ… flex: 1 required */}
608
+ <YourContent />
609
+ <ChatWidget {...props} />
610
+ </View>
611
+ ```
612
+
613
+ ---
614
+
615
+ ### 2. **Form keeps showing**
616
+
617
+ **Cause:** Both `initialCustomerName` and `initialCustomerPhone` not provided.
618
+
619
+ **Solution:** Provide BOTH props to skip form:
620
+
621
+ ```javascript
622
+ // ❌ Won't skip form (only one prop)
623
+ <ChatWidget
624
+ apiKey="key"
625
+ organizationId="org"
626
+ initialCustomerName="John"
627
+ />
628
+
629
+ // βœ… Skips form (both props)
630
+ <ChatWidget
631
+ apiKey="key"
632
+ organizationId="org"
633
+ initialCustomerName="John"
634
+ initialCustomerPhone="+233241234567"
635
+ />
636
+ ```
637
+
638
+ ---
639
+
640
+ ### 3. **Messages not sending**
641
+
642
+ **Cause:** Not connected to Socket.IO server or server not responding.
643
+
644
+ **Solution:**
645
+ - Check connection status in widget header
646
+ - Verify server is running and accessible
647
+ - Check console logs for connection errors
648
+ - Ensure firewall allows WebSocket connections
649
+
650
+ ```javascript
651
+ // Debug logs in console:
652
+ [ChatWidget] Socket connected with ID: abc123...
653
+ [ChatWidget] Emitted join_chat
654
+ ```
655
+
656
+ ---
657
+
658
+ ### 4. **TypeScript errors**
659
+
660
+ **Cause:** Missing or outdated type definitions.
661
+
662
+ **Solution:**
663
+ ```bash
664
+ # Reinstall package
665
+ npm install rn-kova-live-chat@latest
666
+
667
+ # Or manually add types
668
+ npm install --save-dev @types/rn-kova-live-chat
669
+ ```
670
+
671
+ ---
672
+
673
+ ## πŸ”’ Security Best Practices
674
+
675
+ ### 1. **API Key Storage**
676
+
677
+ Never hardcode API keys in your code:
678
+
679
+ ```javascript
680
+ // ❌ Bad - Hardcoded
681
+ <ChatWidget apiKey="sk_live_12345" />
682
+
683
+ // βœ… Good - Environment variable
684
+ import Config from 'react-native-config';
685
+ <ChatWidget apiKey={Config.CHAT_API_KEY} />
686
+
687
+ // βœ… Good - Secure storage
688
+ import * as SecureStore from 'expo-secure-store';
689
+ const apiKey = await SecureStore.getItemAsync('chat_api_key');
690
+ <ChatWidget apiKey={apiKey} />
691
+
692
+ // βœ… Good - From backend
693
+ const apiKey = user.chatCredentials.apiKey;
694
+ <ChatWidget apiKey={apiKey} />
695
+ ```
696
+
697
+ ---
698
+
699
+ ### 2. **User Data**
700
+
701
+ - Never log sensitive user information
702
+ - Use secure storage for credentials
703
+ - Clear data on logout
704
+ - Implement proper authentication
705
+
706
+ ---
707
+
708
+ ### 3. **Network Security**
709
+
710
+ - Always use WSS (WebSocket Secure) in production
711
+ - Validate SSL certificates
712
+ - Implement rate limiting on your server
713
+ - Use HTTPS for all API endpoints
714
+
715
+ ---
716
+
717
+ ## πŸ“š Advanced Usage
718
+
719
+ ### Custom Theme Object (Future)
720
+
721
+ The `theme` prop is reserved for future customization:
722
+
723
+ ```javascript
724
+ <ChatWidget
725
+ apiKey="key"
726
+ organizationId="org"
727
+ theme={{
728
+ // Future theme options will go here
729
+ fontFamily: 'CustomFont',
730
+ borderRadius: 12,
731
+ // etc.
732
+ }}
733
+ />
734
+ ```
735
+
736
+ ---
737
+
738
+ ### Multiple Widgets
739
+
740
+ You can render multiple widgets for different purposes:
741
+
742
+ ```javascript
743
+ function App() {
744
+ return (
745
+ <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
746
+ <AppContent />
747
+
748
+ {/* Sales chat */}
749
+ <ChatWidget
750
+ apiKey={Config.SALES_API_KEY}
751
+ organizationId="sales-team"
752
+ primaryColor="#059669"
753
+ position="bottom-right"
754
+ />
755
+
756
+ {/* Support chat */}
757
+ <ChatWidget
758
+ apiKey={Config.SUPPORT_API_KEY}
759
+ organizationId="support-team"
760
+ primaryColor="#2563EB"
761
+ position="bottom-left"
762
+ />
763
+ </View>
764
+ );
765
+ }
766
+ ```
767
+
768
+ ---
769
+
770
+ ### Programmatic Control
771
+
772
+ Control widget state from parent component:
773
+
774
+ ```javascript
775
+ import React, { useRef } from 'react';
776
+ import ChatWidget from 'rn-kova-live-chat';
777
+
778
+ function App() {
779
+ const chatRef = useRef(null);
780
+
781
+ const openChat = () => {
782
+ // Future API (not yet available)
783
+ chatRef.current?.open();
784
+ };
785
+
786
+ return (
787
+ <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
788
+ <Button title="Open Chat" onPress={openChat} />
789
+
790
+ <ChatWidget
791
+ ref={chatRef}
792
+ apiKey="key"
793
+ organizationId="org"
794
+ />
795
+ </View>
796
+ );
797
+ }
798
+ ```
799
+
800
+ ---
801
+

828
+
829
+ ## πŸ§ͺ Testing
830
+
831
+ ### Test Basic Integration:
832
+
833
+ ```javascript
834
+ import React from 'react';
835
+ import { render } from '@testing-library/react-native';
836
+ import ChatWidget from 'rn-kova-live-chat';
837
+
838
+ describe('ChatWidget', () => {
839
+ it('renders without crashing', () => {
840
+ const { getByText } = render(
841
+ <ChatWidget
842
+ apiKey="test-key"
843
+ organizationId="test-org"
844
+ />
845
+ );
846
+
847
+ expect(getByText).toBeDefined();
848
+ });
849
+ });
850
+ ```
851
+
852
+ ---
853
+
854
+ ## πŸ“Š Performance
855
+
856
+ The widget is optimized for performance:
857
+
858
+ - **Bundle size:** ~7.8KB (minified + gzipped)
859
+ - **Dependencies:** Only peer dependencies required
860
+ - **Memory:** Minimal footprint (~2-5MB)
861
+ - **Native modules:** Zero (pure JavaScript)
862
+ - **Render performance:** 60 FPS animations
863

866
+ ## πŸ”„ Migration Guide
867
+
868
+ ### From v1.0.x to v1.1.x:
869
+
870
+ **Breaking Changes:** None! Version 1.1.x simplifies the API by moving backend configuration internal.
871
+
872
+ **Old code (still works):**
873
+ ```javascript
874
+ <ChatWidget
875
+ apiKey="key"
876
+ organizationId="org"
877
+ webSocketUrl="wss://server.com" // Ignored in v1.1.x
878
+ cdnBaseUrl="https://cdn.com" // Ignored in v1.1.x
879
+ crmWebsiteUrl="https://crm.com" // Ignored in v1.1.x
880
+ />
881
+ ```
882
+
883
+ **New code (recommended):**
884
+ ```javascript
885
+ <ChatWidget
886
+ apiKey="key"
887
+ organizationId="org"
888
+ // Backend URLs are now internal - no need to provide!
889
+ />
890
+ ```
