he VS EmbeddedChat

This obviously does not work with the Mustache parser. So I had to uninstall another package to decode the HTML entities, and then deal with the original recursive replacement problem. Here’s what the final code looks like:

Still, we were just using state to control the message value which was ultimately a string. The question was how could we parse this inside of the input box? Yes, dangerouslySetInnerHtml was an option I guess but we researched a bit and at last went with a better way, with a better package called he which is used to encode and decode HTML entities.

Don’t propose major changes - start small! The issue should be within your reach and you should have a decent plan on how to solve it. For example, my first issue is adding tooltips to the message toolbox - just a small UI enhancement. Once you have taken the first step, you will gradually take on bigger tasks.

This blog marks the start of a series I am going to write, sharing my journey in the Google Summer of Code Program, with some tips, learnings, and some design decisions which we (me and my mentor) took to shape the EmbeddedChat Project.

I wanted to share this way, where you can get started with creating a component library instantly and naturally (without worrying about learning any other technology). For a detailed approach about why I chose some things over the other, I will be writing bi-weekly blogs about my progress in the EmbeddedChat project. But for now, let's create a simple counter component.
