Measured entry

hextaui-ai-chat-history

chatminimal-flat

A client-side React conversation-history card shipped as a shadcn registry block. It groups chats by date, searches titles and previews, and exposes callbacks for selection, creation, rename, archive, and deletion. It depends on shadcn UI primitives and utilities, Tailwind theme tokens, Radix packages, and Lucide icons.

What the harness recorded

BARE BUILD

✗ Build failed in 755ms
error during build:
[vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "lucide-react" from "<sandbox>re-a7c64aee097f/src/cut/blocks/ai/ai-chat-history.tsx".

Verdict

A capable, fairly complete history panel for an existing shadcn app, but it needs accessibility and narrow-screen cleanup. It needs a shadcn-style setup, and the bare install also fails until the undeclared Lucide icon dependency is added.

Use it if

  • You need a compact chat sidebar with search, date grouping, active-state styling, and empty states already composed.
  • Your app can connect its own async rename, archive, unarchive, and delete handlers to a presentational conversation list.
  • You already use shadcn conventions and want keyboard navigation plus confirmation UI included.

Skip it if

  • Your narrow mobile layout cannot tolerate horizontal overflow without additional responsive work.
  • You need accessibility compliance out of the box, since the verified render has unsupported ARIA attributes and contrast failures.
  • You want a dependency-light standalone list rather than a block tied to several shadcn primitives and an icon package.

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, add Lucide React, the required Radix packages, clsx, tailwind-merge, and equivalents for the button, card, input group, alert dialog, dropdown menu, and separator primitives. Also provide the cn utility, Tailwind theme tokens, path aliases, and client-component support.
