Text Bubble width

[eduKit]

My users are able to message one another. I was able to have the text and the height of the shape match with one another but I am struggling to fix the width.

Any ideas?

I was able to do some research and look into another topic that was posted regarding this same issue, dynamic width:

Dynamic width of textbox

I’m building a chat app and was wondering is there anyway to make the width of a textbox shrink/grow based on content the way bubble does with height. I’d like for the textbox of short responses to not be so wide. See screenshot [image]

The findings from this post is that the only real way to be able to do this would be to have separately created “background” groups and determine which one to show based off of the number of characters. Emmanuel did mention that there are no plans to implement the dynamic width feature in the future.

I’m 99% sure there’s a plugin that enables this, but I don’t recall the name.

Are you referring to AirDev’s widget?

@eduKit, you can look under the hood to understand how the people at AirDev did it (see the page HTML header).
