  components: {

  },
}
<template>
  <div>
      <Chat 
       :participants="participants"
       :myself="myself"
       :messages="messages"
       :on-type="onType"
       :on-message-submit="onMessageSubmit"
       :chat-title="chatTitle"
       :placeholder="placeholder"
       :colors="colors"
       :border-style="borderStyle"
       :hide-close-button="hideCloseButton"
       :close-button-icon-size="closeButtonIconSize"
       :on-close="onClose"
       :submit-icon-size="submitIconSize"
       :load-more-messages="toLoad.length > 0 ? loadMoreMessages : null"
       :async-mode="asyncMode"
       :scroll-bottom="scrollBottom"
       :display-header="displayHeader"/>
   </div>
</template>

You can also use a slot to define the header content

<div>
	<Chat 
        :participants="participants"
        :myself="myself"
        :messages="messages"
        :onType="onType"
        :onMessageSubmit="onMessageSubmit"
        :chatTitle="chatTitle"
        :placeholder="placeholder"
        :colors="colors"
        :borderStyle="borderStyle"
        :hideCloseButton="hideCloseButton"
        :closeButtonIconSize="closeButtonIconSize"
        :submitIconSize="submitIconSize"
        :load-more-messages="toLoad.length > 0 ? loadMoreMessages : null"
        :asyncMode="asyncMode"
        :scroll-bottom="scrollBottom">
        <template v-slot:header>
          <div>
            <p v-for="(participant, index) in participants" :key="index" class="custom-title">{{participant.name}}</p>
          </div>
        </template>
        </Chat>
</div>

Bellow we have an example of the component data structure

import {Chat} from 'vue-quick-chat';
import 'vue-quick-chat/dist/vue-quick-chat.css';

export default {
    components: {
        Chat
