How to display Rich Text Editor in Azure Communication Service

Georgios Katsis 0

Hello.
I am trying to add Rich Text Editor feature in my chat (in react) using the Azure Communication Service. The project build successfully but when we deploy the files locally on IIS or Kubernetes cluster on Azure, the format button in send textbox is missing.
I am using the @azure/communication-react 1.21.0-beta.1. Do you know why this is happening and how I could fix it?
Thank you

@Harshitha Veeramalla Thank you for your answer. Yes I saw it this Q&A, I saw also that in ChatComposite component there is an option to enable or disable the rich text editor. This option locally is working. But does not works when I am trying to deploy the project on Azure for example.
Here is my code:

<ChatComposite
            adapter={adapter}
            fluentTheme={currentTheme.theme}
            options={{
              autoFocus: 'sendBoxTextField',
              topic: false,
              richTextEditor: true,
              participantPane: false,
              attachmentOptions: {
                uploadOptions: uploadOptions,
                downloadOptions: downloadOptions
              }

Yes I saw it this Q&A, I saw also that in ChatComposite component there is an option to enable or disable the rich text editor. This option locally is working. But does not works when I am trying to deploy the project on Azure for example. In the Q&A answer propose to create the rich text editor from another library. But I am not sure how to display the sent messages in chat thread.

The error I am getting is this "Can't find the selector for component, please check supported component list".

@Georgios Katsis Could please provide more details:

What command or YAML configuration are you using?

What exact selector are you applying?

Which Kubernetes version are you running?

Please share your yml, docker file .Your error, "Can't find the selector for component, please check supported component list," suggests that you might be using an unsupported field selector for a given resource type. Keep in mind:

Label selectors (-l or --selector) work for filtering resources based on labels.

Field selectors (--field-selector) work on specific supported fields per resource.

Not all components in Kubernetes support selectors in the same way.

The commands I am using are npm install and npm run build. Nothing special.
The selector I am using is this:

<Stack className={chatScreenContainerStyle}>
        <Stack.Item className={chatCompositeContainerStyle} role="main">
          <ChatComposite
            adapter={adapter}
            fluentTheme={currentTheme.theme}
            options={{
              autoFocus: 'sendBoxTextField',
              topic: false,
              richTextEditor: true,
              participantPane: false,
              attachmentOptions: {
                uploadOptions: createUploadOptions(threadId),
                downloadOptions: downloadOptions
              }
              
            }}
            onRenderMessage={(messageProps, defaultOnRender) => {
              const customMessageProps = {
                ...messageProps,
                showDate: true,
                disableEditing: false
              };
              return defaultOnRender ? defaultOnRender(customMessageProps) : <></>;
            }}
          />
        </Stack.Item>
      </Stack>

Our Kubernetes version is 1.30 and the docker file is attached.
