Web Chatbot SDK — Release Notes

Version history for the EnableX Dialogs Web Chatbot SDK — a plain-JavaScript client for building a custom web chat UI against the Dialogs chatbot engine. Releases are shown in reverse chronological order — latest first.

v1.0.0 is a first-milestone plain-script SDK that wraps the channel-web REST API and guest Socket.IO connection described in Chat Bots, so you don't have to implement session handling, reconnects, and event parsing yourself.

What's included

• Connect to the Dialogs backend via the guest Socket.IO namespace, with a persisted visitorId in localStorage and automatic webSessionId tracking
• Auto-reconnect with configurable attempts/delay (reconnect: { autoReconnect, maxAttempts, delayMs }), plus manual reconnect() / disconnect() / disableAutoReconnect()
• Optional client-side host validation via validateHost(), matching the check the official embed performs before showing its widget
• Create a new conversation (createConversation()) and track the "current" conversation for later calls
• List conversations (listConversations()) and load full history for one conversation (getConversation())
• Reset a conversation (resetConversation())
• Send and receive text messages, with a typing indicator
• Upload files via sendFile()
• Fetch bot metadata via getBotInfo() (no connection required)

Not included in this release

The following channel-web capabilities exist on the backend but are not yet wrapped by this SDK version. You can still reach them with direct REST calls as documented in Chat Bots:

• Sending the visit event / other raw events
• Quick-reply and postback UI helpers (the payload can be sent manually, but the SDK does not parse or expose it)
• Startup form submission and language preferences
• Agent handoff status (payload.handoverStatus is not surfaced as a dedicated event)
• Click-to-call signalling (payload.clickToCallEvent is not surfaced as a dedicated event)
