react-messenger-plugin

Component wrapper for Facebook Messenger plugins

Installation

npm install --save react-messenger-plugin

Usage

To use the Messenger Plugin, you will need an App Id and a Page Id. You can find create an app here and you will find your page Id at the bottom of your Facebook page settings.

You can then use the plugin.

var React = require("react");
var render = require("react-dom").render;
var MessengerPlugin = require("react-messenger-plugin");

render(
    <MessengerPlugin
      appId="<YOUR-APP-ID>"
      pageId="<YOUR-PAGE-ID>"
    />,
    document.body
);

Notes

Expect a delay before the button appears. This is mainly caused by the time required by the Facebook SDK to load and then the time for it to initialize. To reduce the delay, see the advance usage described below.
