PinnedTileBar

PinnedTileBar renders the set of pinned participants in a horizontal filmstrip above or below the main grid. Returns null when no participants are pinned (zero-cost when unused).

Install

pnpm add @levelchat/react-components @levelchat/web

Requirements

• React — react and react-dom ^18 || ^19 (peer dependency).
• LevelChat Web SDK — @levelchat/web ^0.2.4 (peer dependency, wires hook-driven mode to the live Room).
• Provider — wrap the tree in <LevelChatProvider> from @levelchat/web-react so hook-driven mode can subscribe to room events. Prop-driven demos work without it.
• Styles — import the brand tokens + kit stylesheet exactly once at the app entry, before any kit component renders.

In Next.js (App Router), import the stylesheets at the top of your root layout:

// app/layout.tsx
import '@levelchat/brand/tokens.css';
import '@levelchat/react-components/styles.css';

In Vite (or any plain React app), import them at the top of your entry module:

// src/main.tsx
import '@levelchat/brand/tokens.css';
import '@levelchat/react-components/styles.css';

Basic usage

import { PinnedTileBar, ParticipantGrid } from '@levelchat/react-components';

<>
  <PinnedTileBar maxPinned={4} />
  <ParticipantGrid />
</>

Pin semantics

• Server pins — broadcast pins set by a host. Everyone in the room sees the same pinned set.
• Local pins — per-viewer overrides. Layered on top of server pins; not broadcast.
• Deduplication + cap at maxPinned (default 8). Server pins lead.
