# Message

Conversation structure with author, body and status.

## How to use it

Use align to distinguish sender and recipient. MessageScroller can follow new messages when follow is enabled.



## Import


```tsx
import { Message, MessageGroup, MessageAvatar, MessageContent, MessageHeader, MessageFooter, MessageScroller } from "@kivora/nextjs";
```


Examples run in a Client Component. Also import the hooks, icons and dependencies used. This is the web API; consult the native guide for React Native.

## Example


```tsx
<MessageGroup><Message align="start"><MessageContent><MessageHeader>Sofía</MessageHeader><Bubble><BubbleContent>Shall we bring this idea to life?</BubbleContent></Bubble><MessageFooter>09:41</MessageFooter></MessageContent></Message></MessageGroup>
```
