Chatbot widget for docs

To integrate the Biel.AI chat widget into your Vue.js site:

  1. Open your terminal or command prompt. Navigate to your project's root directory using the cd command:

    cd path/to/your/project

    Replace path/to/your/project with your project's actual directory path.

  2. With your terminal still open, run the following command to install Biel.ai:

    npm install biel-search

  3. Open your main Vue component or the desired Vue component where you want the chatbot to appear. Then, incorporate the Biel.ai styles and scripts:

    <script>
    // Incorporate Biel.ai styles
    import 'biel-search/dist/biel-search/biel-search.css';

    // Initialize the Biel.AI chat widget
    import 'biel-search/dist/biel-search/biel-search.esm.js';
    </script>

  4. In the template section of your Vue component, add the following snippet:

    <template>
        <!-- Rest of your component's template -->

        <biel-button 
            project="<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>"
            header-title="Biel.ai chatbot" 
            button-position="bottom-right" 
            modal-position="bottom-right" 
            button-style="dark">
            Ask AI
        </biel-button>
    </template>

    Replace <YOUR_PROJECT_ID> with your project's ID from the Biel.ai dashboard.

  5. After making these changes, navigate back to your Vue.js project root and run:

    npm run serve

  6. Open the website in a web browser to verify that the chatbot appears and works correctly.
