import YourGPTProvider from '@yourgpt/chatbot-reactnative';
function App(): JSX.Element {
return (
<SafeAreaView style={{ flex: 1 }}>
<YourGPTProvider widgetId="YOUR_WIDGET_ID">
{/* Your app components */}
</YourGPTProvider>
</SafeAreaView>
);
}
export default App;Important: Replace "YOUR_WIDGET_ID" with the actual widget ID you copied in Step 1.3.
Create a new file at components/OpenBot.tsx:
import React from 'react';
import { Button } from 'react-native';
import { useYourGPT } from '@yourgpt/chatbot-reactnative';
export default function OpenBot() {
const { open } = useYourGPT();
return <Button onPress={open} title="Open Chatbot" />;
}That’s it! Your YourGPT chatbot is now ready to use. When users press the button, the chatbot will open in a modal overlay.



The YourGPTProvider requires only your widget ID:
<YourGPTProvider
widgetId="your-widget-id" // Required
